| thiobarbituric acid reactive substances | Low-molecular-weight end products, probably malondialdehyde, that are formed during the decomposition of lipid peroxidation products. These compounds react with thiobarbituric acid to form a fluorescent red adduct. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| allogeneic inhibition | Inhibition or injury to allogeneic cells that occurs when lymphocytes are mixed and cultured with other cells of different genotypes in vitro. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macrophage inhibition factor | <cytokine> A group of lymphokines (including a 14 kD glycoprotein) produced by activated T lymphocytes that reduces macrophage mobility and probably increases macrophage macrophage adhesion. (18 Nov 1997) |
| macrophage migration inhibition test | A test which measures the presence of migration-inhibitory factor. Usually peritoneal macrophages are placed in a capillary tube in the presence or absence of supernatants from activated T-cells. If MIF is present, the migration of monocyte/macrophages is reduced. Synonym: macrophage migration inhibition test, migration inhibition test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reciprocal inhibition | Contraction in a muscle is accompanied by a loss of tone or by relaxation in the antagonistic muscle. Synonym: reciprocal inhibition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex inhibition | A situation in which sensory stimuli decrease reflex activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell migration inhibition | Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated leukocytes or macrophages. Specific assays have been developed to estimate levels of migration-inhibitory factor, immune reactivity against tumour-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| central inhibition | <physiology> Suppression or diminution of outgoing impulses from a reflex centre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual inhibition | The inhibition or suppression of tinnitus by use of a sound-generating device (residual inhibitor) which masks the sounds of tinnitus and produces a residual sound-inhibiting effect when the device is turned off. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retroactive inhibition | The partial or complete obliteration of memory by a more recent event, particularly new learning. Compare: proactive inhibition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| migration inhibition test | A test which measures the presence of migration-inhibitory factor. Usually peritoneal macrophages are placed in a capillary tube in the presence or absence of supernatants from activated T-cells. If MIF is present, the migration of monocyte/macrophages is reduced. Synonym: macrophage migration inhibition test, migration inhibition test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wedensky inhibition | Inhibition of muscle response resulting from application of a series of rapidly repeated stimuli to the motor nerve where slower frequency of stimulation results in muscle response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| competitive inhibition | <chemistry> Inhibitor that occupies the active site of an enzyme or the binding site of a receptor and prevents the normal substrate or ligand from binding. at sufficiently high concentration of the normal ligand inhibition is lost: the Km is altered by the competitive inhibitor, but the Vmax remains the same. (05 Jan 1998) |
| contact inhibition | The inhibition of continued growth and division of a cell or colony due to physical contact with other cells or colonies. The stopping of continued growth when a certain density of cells has been reached. The momentary stopping of all movement when a mobile cell runs into another cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| contact inhibition of growth | See: density dependent inhibition. (18 Nov 1997) |
