| soluble soap | Any soap made with potassium, sodium, or ammonium hydroxide: ordinary animal soap, Castile soap, green soap, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| soluble specific substance | A soluble type-specific polysaccharide produced during active growth of virulent pneumococci composing a large part of the capsule. Synonym: pneumococcal polysaccharide, soluble specific substance, specific soluble polysaccharide, specific soluble sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soluble starch | A high-molecular-weight, water-soluble dextrin produced by the partial acid hydrolysis of starch; useful in iodimetry, as it gives an easily visible purple-black end point in the presence of free iodine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soluble tartar | K2C4H4O6-1/2 H2O;a mild purgative and diuretic. Synonym: soluble tartar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| specific soluble polysaccharide | A soluble type-specific polysaccharide produced during active growth of virulent pneumococci composing a large part of the capsule. Synonym: pneumococcal polysaccharide, soluble specific substance, specific soluble polysaccharide, specific soluble sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| specific soluble sugar | A soluble type-specific polysaccharide produced during active growth of virulent pneumococci composing a large part of the capsule. Synonym: pneumococcal polysaccharide, soluble specific substance, specific soluble polysaccharide, specific soluble sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat soluble | <chemistry> Can be dissolved in fat. Lipid soluble (27 Sep 1997) |
| fat-soluble vitamins | Those vitamin's, soluble in fat solvents (nonpolar solvents) and relatively insoluble in water, marked in chemical structure by the presence of large hydrocarbon moieties in the molecule; e.g., vitamin's A, D, E, K. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amber suppressor | <molecular biology> A tRNA molecule which suppresses amber mutations because it has mutated to recognise the amber codon UAG (which normally signals that the translation of mRNA into an amino acid chain should stop) as a signal for inserting whatever amino acid it carries into the chain. As a result, it can prevent the amino acid chain from ending before it is completed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genes, suppressor | Genes that inhibit expression of a previous mutation. They allow the wild-type phenotype to be wholly or partially restored. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, suppressor, tumour | Genes that inhibit expression of the tumourigenic phenotype. They are normally involved in holding cellular growth in check. When tumour suppressor genes are inactivated or lost, a barrier to normal proliferation is removed and deregulated growth is possible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suppressor | A compound that suppresses the effects of mutation or suppresses what would be a normal course of events. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppressor cell | <immunology> Lymphocyte class of cells suppressing T or B antigen dependent responses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| suppressor cells | Cells of the immune system that inhibit or help to terminate an immune response, e.g., suppressor macrophages and suppressor T-cells. Synonym: cytotoxic cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| suppressor factor | <immunology> Factors released by T suppressor cells. See: suppressor mutation, ochre suppressor, opal suppressor. (19 Jan 1998) |
