| plasma thromboplastin component | <chemical> Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway. Its activated form, ixa, forms a complex with factor viii and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor x to xa. Deficiency of factor ix results in christmas disease (haemophilia b). Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor IX (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| habitat component | <ecology> A single element (for example, velocity, depth, cover, etc.) of the habitat or environment in which a fish or other aquatic species or population may live or occur. (09 Oct 1997) |
| secretory component | <physiology> A glycoprotein found in a variety of external secretions (tears, bile, colostrum) usually complexed to secreted polymeric immunoglobulins (IgA or, less frequently IgM). It is derived, by proteolytic cleavage, from the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (receptors, polymeric immunoglobulin) and probably functions to protect the immunoglobulins from proteolysis in the secretions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secretory component of IgA | <immunology, protein> A polypeptide chain of about 60 kD that aids secretion of the IgA, a portion of the IgA receptor on the plasmalemma of the inner side of the epithelial cells lining the gut, which is proteolysed when the IgA receptor complex has travelled through the cell after receptor mediated endocytosis at the inner face, to the outer (luminal) face. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum amyloid P component | Precursor of amyloid component P, found in basement membrane. Member of the pentraxin family. See: serum amyloid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| two-component plasma | <radiobiology> Refers to a plasma containing a cool thermal component and a population of high energy particles (such as from neutral beam injection) which are in the process of thermalising (slowing down). (09 Oct 1997) |
| fast component | <molecular biology> A segment of eukaryotic DNA consisting of highly-repeated nucleotide sequences which, when the entire duplex DNA molecule is denatured (the double-stranded helix comes apart and becomes single strands) and then allowed to renature (the complementary single strands come together to form a helix), will be the first segment to renature. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Bordetella pertussis | <bacteria> A small, aerobic, gram-negative bacillus, causative organism of whooping cough. Produces a variety of toxins including a dermonecrotising toxin, an adenyl cyclase, an endotoxin and pertussis toxin, as well as surface components such as fimbrial haemagglutinin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis | <infectious disease> An acute, highly contagious infection of the respiratory tract, most frequently affecting young children, usually caused by Bordetella pertussis, a similar illness has been associated with infection by B. Parapertussis and B. Bronchiseptica. It is characterised by a catarrhal stage, beginning after an incubation period of about two weeks, with slight fever, sneesing, running at the nose and a dry cough. In a week or two the paroxysmal stage begins, with the characteristic paroxysmal cough, consisting of a deep inspiration, followed by a series of quick, short coughs, continuing until the air is expelled from the lungs, the close of the paroxysm is marked by a long drawn, shrill, whooping inspiration, due to spasmodic closure of the glottis. This stage lasts three to four weeks, after which the convalescent stage begins, in which paroxysms grow less frequent and less violent and finally cease. Synonym: whooping cough. Origin: L. Tussis = cough (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's derived from the plasma of adult human donors who have been immunised with pertussis vaccine; used both prophylactically and therapeutically. Synonym: pertussis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pertussis immunoglobulin | A sterile solution of globulin's derived from the plasma of adult human donors who have been immunised with pertussis vaccine; used both prophylactically and therapeutically. Synonym: pertussis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pertussis-like syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by severe episodes of coughing resembling whooping cough (pertussis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| pertussis syndrome | <infectious disease> An acute, highly contagious infection of the respiratory tract, most frequently affecting young children, usually caused by Bordetella pertussis, a similar illness has been associated with infection by B. Parapertussis and B. Bronchiseptica. It is characterised by a catarrhal stage, beginning after an incubation period of about two weeks, with slight fever, sneesing, running at the nose and a dry cough.

Tussis = cough (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis toxin | <protein> Protein complex (ca 117 kD). An A B toxin, the active subunit is a single polypeptide 28 kD), the binding subunit a pentamer (two heterodimers, 23 + 11.7 kD, 11.7 + 22 kD and a monomer (9.3 kD) that binds the heterodimers). The active subunit ADP ribosylates the _ subunit of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein (Gi). Crucial to the pathogenicity of Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis toxins | <chemical> Any of various biologically active proteins or toxins elaborated by bordetella pertussis that cause the symptoms of whooping cough. Some activate pancreatic islets, others inhibit the adenylate cyclase cascade and some cause lymphocytosis. Chemical name: Toxins, pertussis (12 Dec 1998) |
