| persistent posterior hyperplastic primary vitreous | A unilateral congenital anomaly in full-term infants; associated with a congenital retinal fold and a vitreous membranous stalk containing remnants of the hyaloid artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| coloboma of vitreous | A congenital indentation of the vitreous body by mesoderm; associated with severe myopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary vitreous | The vitreous first formed in the embryo between the optic cup and the lens vesicle, and later vascularised by the hyaloid artery and its branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary vitreous | Avascular vitreous formed around the primary vitreous. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stroma of vitreous | The delicate framework of the vitreous body embedded in or enclosing the vitrous humor. Synonym: stroma vitreum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tertiary vitreous | Vitreous fibrils derived from the neuroepithelium of the ciliary body and forming the ciliary zonule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anticoding strand | The strand of duplex DNA which is used as a template for the synthesis of mRNA. Synonym: antisense strand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antiparallel strand | A macromolecular strand that is oriented in the opposite direction of a neighboring strand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antisense strand | <molecular biology> The strand of DNA which is not used during transcription to make mRNA (anticoding strand). The mRNA made during transcription thus has the same sequence as this strand, so that the eventual protein will be a sense version. (13 Jan 1998) |
| ATP-dependent DNA strand transferase | <enzyme> From human cell nuclei; catalyses strand exchange between homologous DNA sequences; magnesium dependent, requires ATP hydrolysis Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: ATP-dep-DNA-str trnsfase (26 Jun 1999) |
| viral strand | See: replicative form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minus strand | See: replicative form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minus-strand nucleic acid | <molecular biology> An RNA or DNA strand which has the opposite sense of (would be complementary to) the mRNA of a virus. (12 Jan 1998) |
| coding strand | The strand of duplex DNA that has the same sequence as the mRNA (except that mRNA contains ribonucleotides instead of deoxyribonucleotides). Synonym: sense strand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complementary strand | See: replicative form. (05 Mar 2000) |
