| D.I. particle | <abbreviation> Defective interfering particle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| dressed particle | <radiobiology> A particle plus its associated neutralising Debye sphere. (09 Oct 1997) |
| intramembranous particle | <cell biology> Particles (or complementary pits) seen in freeze fractured membranes. The cleavage plane is through the centre of the bilayer and the particles are usually assumed to represent Integral membrane proteins (or polymers of such proteins). (18 Nov 1997) |
| either particle flux density | The particle fluence rate, or energy flux density, the energy fluence rate of intensity. Compare: fluence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elementary particle interactions | The interactions of particles responsible for their scattering and transformations (decays and reactions). Because of interactions, an isolated particle may decay into other particles. Two particles passing near each other may transform, perhaps into the same particles but with changed momenta (elastic scattering) or into other particles (inelastic scattering). Interactions fall into three groups: strong, electromagnetic, and weak. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trapped-particle instability | <radiobiology> Slowly-growing class of instabilities driven by particles which cannot circulate freely in a toroidal system. See: banana orbit. (09 Oct 1997) |
| kappa particle | <microbiology> Gram-negative bacterial endosymbiont of Paramoecium spp., (Caedobacter taeniospiralis) that confers the killer trait, infected Paramoecium are resistant to the toxin liberated by infected forms. Killing activity is associated with the induction of defective phage in the endosymbiont, leading to the release of R bodies, coded for by the phage genome and apparently of mis assembled phage coat protein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Zimmermann's elementary particle | <haematology> A discoid cell (3m diameter) found in large numbers in blood, important for blood coagulation and for haemostasis by repairing breaches (small breaks) in the walls of blood vessels. Platelet _ granules contain lysosomal enzymes, dense granules contain ADP (a potent platelet aggregating factor) and serotonin (a vasoactive amine). They also release platelet-derived growth factor which presumably contributes to later repair processes by stimulating fibroblast proliferation. Synonym: thrombocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| agarose gel electrophoresis | <procedure> A type of electrophoresis that uses a matrix of highly purified agar to separate large nucleotides in size. (06 May 1997) |
| blood protein electrophoresis | Electrophoresis applied to blood proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary electrophoresis | A technique for separating compounds, a sample of a compound to beseparated is placed in a capillary tube, which is then subjected to ahigh voltage current that separates its chemical components. (09 Oct 1997) |
| capillary zone electrophoresis | A method for separating molecules extremely rapidly based on their electrophoretic mobility. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gamaglobulin electrophoresis | <investigation> A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood. In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected. In multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia a single clone of lymphocytes can produce one type of immunoglobulin that is detected in the electrophoresis as monoclonal (made by one cell clone). (27 Sep 1997) |
| gel electrophoresis | <molecular biology> Electrophoresis using a gel supporting phase. Usually applied to systems where the gel is based on polyacrylamide. See: electrophoresis. (05 May 1997) |
| carrier electrophoresis | Electrophoresis done on a carrier (such as paper, polyacrylamide gel, etc.). (05 Mar 2000) |
