| monocyte chemoattractant proteins | Chemokines that are chemoattractants for monocytes. These cc chemokines (cysteines adjacent) number at least three including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| chemotactic | A response of motile cells or organisms in which the direction of movement is affected by the gradient of a diffusible substance. Differs from chemokinesis in that the gradient alters probability of motion in one direction only, rather than rate or frequency of random motion. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chemotactic factors | Chemical substances that attract or repel cells or organisms. The concept denotes especially those factors released as a result of tissue injury, invasion, or immunologic activity, that attract leukocytes, macrophages, or other cells to the site of infection or insult. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic factors, eosinophil | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract eosinophils; they may be complement fragments, lymphokines, neutrophil products, histamine or other; the best known is the tetrapeptide ecf-a, released mainly by mast cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic factors, macrophage | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract macrophages. They may be lymphokines, products of antigen, antibody and complement interactions or other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic protein methylesterase | <enzyme> Demethylates methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: chemotactic methylesterase, carboxymethylesterase of chemotaxis, cheb methylesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| eosinophil chemotactic peptide | <protein> Tetrapeptides (of which two are identified: VGSE and AGSE) released by mast cells and that are said to both attract and activate eosinophils. (18 Nov 1997) |
| anionic neutrophil activating peptide | <cytokine> A cytokine that activates neutrophils and attracts neutrophils and T-lymphocytes. It is released by several cell types including monocytes, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes by an inflammatory stimulus. Il-8 is a member of the beta-thromboglobulin superfamily and structurally related to platelet factor 4. Acronym: IL-8 (12 Dec 1998) |
| band neutrophil | <pathology> Immature neutrophils released from the bone marrow reserve in response to acute demand. (18 Nov 1997) |
| mammary derived growth inhibitor | Fatty acid binding protein that inhibits proliferation of mammary carcinoma cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| mature neutrophil | A fully matured neutrophil that has at least 2 (and as many as 5) distinct lobes in the nucleus and manifests active ameboid motion. Synonym: mature neutrophil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| refuse-derived fuel | (RDF) Fuel prepared from municipal solid waste. Noncombustible materials such as rocks, glass, and metals are removed, and the remaining combustible portion of the solid waste is choped or shreaded. RDF facilities process between 100 and 3000 tons of MSW per day. (05 Dec 1998) |
| segmented neutrophil | A fully matured neutrophil that has at least 2 (and as many as 5) distinct lobes in the nucleus and manifests active ameboid motion. Synonym: mature neutrophil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypersegmented neutrophil | An aged and degenerated neutrophil in which there may be 6 to 10 lobes in the nucleus. Immature neutrophil, a young neutrophil; the term is usually used with reference to stab neutrophil's (or other "juvenile" neutrophil's), neutrophilic granulocytes in which the nucleus is indented but not distinctly segmented. Juvenile neutrophil, any cell of the granulocytic series in which the neutrophilic granules are recognizable and the nucleus is indented (the first phase of segmentation). (05 Mar 2000) |
| stab neutrophil | <pathology> Immature neutrophils released from the bone marrow reserve in response to acute demand. (18 Nov 1997) |
