| inclusion bodies | <cell biology> Nuclear or cytoplasmic structures with characteristic staining properties, usually found at the site of virus multiplication. Semi crystalline arrays of virions, capsids or other viral components. (13 Nov 1997) |

| inclusion bodies, viral | An area showing altered staining behaviour in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesised; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies. (12 Dec 1998) |

| inclusion cell disease | <biochemistry> Mucolipidosis of early onset and with severe symptoms like those in Hurler's syndrome but with normal urinary mucopolysaccharides, vacuolated lymphocytes, and inclusion bodies in cultured fibroblasts (I-cells). The lysosomes lack hydrolases but high concentrations of lysosomal enzymes are found in the extracellular fluids such as serum, spinal fluid, and urine. It is associated with a deficiency of N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phosphotransferase. The gene defect responsible probably prevents the addition of the lysosome recognition marker mannose 6 phosphate) to these enzymes so that they are not directed into the lysosomes but are released. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: I-cell disease, inclusion cell disease. (12 Jul 2000) |
| inclusion compound | The mechanical trapping of small molecules within spaces between other molecules; e.g., the inclusion of iodine molecules by starch molecules to form the well-known red-to-black "addition compound" (05 Mar 2000) |

| inclusion cyst | Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inclusion dermoid | A collection of cancerous cells which form cysts that contain one or more of the three primary embryonic germ layers: skin, hair or teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidermoid inclusion cyst | <radiology> Well-circumscribed radiolucent lesion showing a thin cortical margin that may not be visible in its entirety, frequently in the terminal phalanx, history of penetrating trauma is often elicited Differential diagnosis: ABC, enchondroma (12 Dec 1998) |

| acute necrotizing encephalitis | An acute form of encephalitis, characterised by destruction of brain parenchyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arthritis-encephalitis virus, caprine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus ovine-caprine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, ovine-caprine), closely related to visna-maedi virus and causing acute encephalomyelitis, chronic arthritis, pneumonia, mastitis, and glomerulonephritis in goats. It is transmitted mainly in the colostrum and milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Australian X encephalitis | A severe encephalitis with a high mortality rate occurring in the Murray Valley of Australia; the disease is most severe in children and is characterised by headache, fever, malaise, drowsiness or convulsions, and rigidity of the neck; extensive brain damage may result; it is caused by the Murray Valley encephalitis virus (genus Flavivirus). Synonym: Australian X disease, Australian X encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
