| synthetic | Relating to or made by synthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| synthetic chemistry | The formation or building up of complex compounds by uniting the more simple ones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synthetic dyes | Organic dye compounds originally derived from coal-tar derivatives; presently produced by synthesis from benzene and its derivatives; examples include eosin, methylene blue, and fluorescein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oestrogens, synthetic | Compounds obtained by chemical synthesis which possess oestrogenic activity, but differ in structure from naturally occurring oestrogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acellular vaccine | <immunology, pharmacology, virology> Vaccine consisting of antigenic parts of cells. (13 Nov 1997) |
| adjuvant vaccine | A vaccine that contains an adjuvant; most often the antigen (immunogen) is included in a water-in-oil emulsion (Freund incomplete type adjuvant), or is adsorbed onto an inorganic gel (alum, aluminum hydroxide or phosphate). (05 Mar 2000) |
| aqueous vaccine | A vaccine having a liquid vehicle (e.g., physiological salt solution) as distinguished from an emulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| attenuated vaccine | Live pathogens that have lost their virulence but are still capable of inducing a protective immune response to the virulent forms of the pathogen, e.g., Sabin polio vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autogenous vaccine | A vaccine made from a culture of the patient's own bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine | <drug> Live attenuated vaccine for tuberculosis. For groups and health care workers in high endemic areas. Not to be given to individuals with HIV infection. (15 Nov 1997) |
| BCG vaccine | <drug> Live attenuated vaccine for tuberculosis. For groups and health care workers in high endemic areas. Not to be given to individuals with HIV infection. (15 Nov 1997) |
| brucella strain 19 vaccine | A live bacterial vaccine prepared from an attenuated variant strain of Brucella abortus (strain 19); used for vaccinating cattle against brucellosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brucella vaccine | A bacterial vaccine for the prevention of brucellosis in man and animal. Brucella abortus vaccine is used for the immunization of cattle, sheep, and goats. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Calmette-Guerin vaccine | <drug> Live attenuated vaccine for tuberculosis. For groups and health care workers in high endemic areas. Not to be given to individuals with HIV infection. (15 Nov 1997) |
| rabies vaccine | An inactivated virus vaccine, used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, e.g., veterinarians, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis. The official preparation is human diploid cell vaccine produced from rabies virus grown in cultures of human diploid embryo lung cells and inactivated with propriolactone. It has a much lower incidence of adverse reactions than the previously used duck embryo vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |
