| CBFB | core binding factor, beta |
|---|---|
| CCD | calibration curve data; central core disease; charge-coupled device; childhood celiac disease; cleid... |
| CORE | comprehensive assessment and referral evaluation |
| HBc, HBC, | HBc hepatitis B core [antigen] |
| HBcAg, HBcAg, | HBCAG hepatitis B core antigen |
| core biopsy | Removal (with a large needle) of a piece of a lump. The piece is sent to the lab to see if the lump is benign or malignant. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| core II protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase | <chemical> Member of the mitochondrial-protein-processing family; protein found in subunits of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: core II protein, uccreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| core I protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase | <chemical> Member of the mitochondrial-protein-processing family; protein found in subunits of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: core I protein, uccreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| core particle | The group of eight histones (protein molecules which act like spools for DNA to wrap around so that it can be compacted to fit within the nucleus) in the middle of a nucleosome (which is the histone core particle plus the small segment of DNA wrapped around it). (09 Oct 1997) |
| core plasma | <radiobiology> Hot plasma at the centre of a fusion reactor, distinguished from edge plasma and scrape-off layer (SOL). The core plasma does not directly feel the effects of the divertor or limiter in the way the edge plasma does. (09 Oct 1997) |
| core pneumonia | A form of pneumonia in which exudation is confined for a time to the central portion of a lobe or the hilar region. Synonym: core pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| post and core technique | Use of a metal casting, usually with a post in the pulp or root canal, designed to support and retain an artificial crown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis B core antigen | <virology> (HBcAb, HBcAg), the antigen found in the core of the Dane particle (which is the complete virus) and also in hepatocyte nuclei in hepatitis B infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| HIV core protein p24 | A major core protein of the human immunodeficiency virus encoded by the HIV gag gene. HIV-seropositive individuals mount a significant immune response to p24 and thus detection of antibodies to p24 is one basis for determining HIV infection by elisa and western blot assays. The protein is also being investigated as a potential HIV immunogen in vaccines. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease, central core, of muscle | <anatomy> One of the conditions that produces 'floppy baby' syndrome. CCD causes hypotonia (floppiness) in the newborn baby, slowly progressive muscle weakness, and muscle cramps after exercise. Muscle biopsy shows a key diagnostic finding (absent mitochondria in the centre of many type I muscle fibres). CCD is inherited as a dominant trait. The CCD gene is on chromosome 19 (and involves ryanodine receptor-1). (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute viral conjunctivitis | An epidemic inflammation of the conjunctiva marked by follicles, especially in the lower fornix; may be caused by adenoviruses, herpesvirus, and Newcastle disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibodies, viral | Immunoglobulins produced as a response to viral antigens; includes all classes of immunoglobulins elicited by all viral components. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral | Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral, tumour | Those proteins recognised by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumours induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
