|---|---|
| duffy blood-group system | A blood group consisting mainly of the antigens fy(a) and fy(b), determined by allelic genes, the frequency of which varies profoundly in different races; amorphic genes are common. (12 Dec 1998) |
| I blood-group system | A blood group related both to the abo and p systems that includes several different antigens found in most people on erythrocytes, in milk, and in saliva. The antibodies react only at low temperatures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| K blood group | K blood group See Kell blood group, Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kell blood group | <haematology, immunology> Blood type classification based on a group of erythrocyte antigens that is characterised by an antibody called anti-K. Multiple erythrocytic antigens that comprise at least three pairs of alternates and amorphs, determined by one complex gene or possibly several genes at closely linked loci. The system is important in transfusion reactions. Its expression involves the X chromosome. (21 Jun 2000) |
| Kidd blood group | See Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidd blood-group system | A group of antigens consisting principally of jk(a) and jk(b), determined by allelic genes. Amorphs are encountered. Antibodies of these substances are usually weak and quite labile, stimulated by erythrocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lutheran blood-group system | A complex blood group system having pairs of alternate antigens and amorphic genes, but also subject to a dominant independently segregating repressor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Bevan-Lewis cells | Large pyramidal cell's in the motor area of the precentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: Bevan-Lewis cells. (05 Mar 2000) |

| carcinoma, lewis lung | A carcinoma discovered by dr. Margaret r. Lewis of the wistar institute in 1951. This tumour originated spontaneously as a carcinoma of the lung of a c57bl mouse. The tumour does not appear to be grossly haemorrhagic and the majority of the tumour tissue is a semifirm homogeneous mass. It is also called 3ll and llc and is used as a transplantable malignancy.
