| inhibitory synapse | A synapse in which an action potential in the presynaptic cell reduces the probability of an action potential occurring in the postsynaptic cell. The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter is GABA, this opens channels in the postsynaptic cell which tend to stabilise its resting potential, thus rendering it less likely to fire. See: excitatory synapse, presynaptic inhibition, postsynaptic inhibition. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Leukaemia inhibitory factor | <growth factor> Polypeptide growth factor or cytokine with wide range of activities. Regulates growth and differentiation of primordial germ cells and embryonic stem cells but has effects on peripheral neurons, osteoblasts, adipocytes and various cells of the myeloid lineage. Given to adult animals induces weight loss, behavioural disorders and bone abnormalities. Many of the effects of LIF in vitro can be mimicked by IL-6, oncostatin M and ciliary neurotrophic factor, all of which interact indirectly with gp130, a shared tranducer subunit. (18 Nov 1997) |
| leukocyte migration-inhibitory factors | Protein factor(s) released by sensitised lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that inhibit the movement of leukocytes, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity. Two of the common assays are the leukocyte migration capillary tube technique (lmct) and the leukocyte migration agarose technique (lmat). (12 Dec 1998) |
