| lie detection | Ascertaining of deception through detection of emotional disturbance as manifested by changes in physiologic processes usually using a polygraph. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-D immunoglobulin | rHo(D) immune globulin |
| rabies immunoglobulin | rabies immune globulin (human) |
| genes, immunoglobulin | Genes encoding the light and heavy chain segments of immunoglobulins. Light chain gene segments are symbolised l-v (variable), j (joining) and c (constant); ig heavy chain segments have, in addition, a diversity (d) gene. Each segment codes for certain amino acids, and each has a different nucleotide sequence; the genes are assembled by a remarkable shuffling of the segments during b lymphocyte maturation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, polymeric immunoglobulin | Specialised fc receptors (receptors, fc) for polymeric immunoglobulins, which mediate transcytosis of polymeric IgA and IgM into external secretions. They are found on the surfaces of epithelial cells and hepatocytes. After binding to IgA, the receptor-ligand complex undergoes endocytosis, transport by vesicle, and secretion into the lumen by exocytosis. Before release, the part of the receptor (secretory component) that is bound to IgA is proteolytically cleaved from its transmembrane tail. (12 Dec 1998) |
| measles immunoglobulin | measles immune globulin (human) |
| cellular immunodeficiency with abnormal immunoglobulin synthesis | An ill-defined group of sporadic disorders of unknown cause, occurring in both males and females and associated with recurrent bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and viral infections; there is thymic hypoplasia with depressed cellular (T-lymphocyte) immunity combined with defective humoral (B-lymphocyte) immunity, although immunoglobulin levels may be normal. Synonym: Nezelof syndrome, Nezelof type of thymic alymphoplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rho(D) immunoglobulin | rHo(D) immune globulin |
| chickenpox immunoglobulin | chickenpox immune globulin (human) |
| 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) |
| poliomyelitis immunoglobulin | poliomyelitis immune globulin (human) |
| secretory immunoglobulin | Usually IgA but may be IgM linked to a secretory component and found in mucous secretions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretory immunoglobulin A | A subclass of IgA that is found primarily in secretions such as tears and colostrum. This form of IgA is protected from proteolytic degradation by the presence of a secretory component. (05 Mar 2000) |
