| galvanic cell | <chemistry> See voltaic cell (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| gamma cell of pancreas | A cell of the pancreatic islets of the guinea pig. Synonym: gamma cell of pancreas. Synonym: parafollicular cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cell | <pathology> A type of interneuron that conveys information from the retinal bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells to the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Raji cell | A cell of a cultured line of lymphoblastoid cell's derived from a Burkitt's lymphoma; it possesses numerous receptors for certain complement components and is thus suitable for use in detection of immune complexes. It expresses certain complement receptors as well as Fc receptors for immunoglobulin G. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Raji cell binding test | <investigation> A test for the detection of soluble IgG antigen complexes. Raji cells are a line of EBV transformed lymphocytes with surface Fc receptors. Complexes are detected by their ability to compete with a radiolabelled aggregated IgG for binding to the cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Raji cell radioimmune assay | For immune complexes; a procedure by which immune complexes adsorbed from a test serum by a standard preparation of lymphoblastoid (Raji) cells are assayed by the capacity to bind 125I-labelled antibody to immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 | Cytokine-induced cell adhesion molecule present on activated endothelial cells, tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, bone marrow fibroblasts, myoblasts, and myotubes. It is important for the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of inflammation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gargoyle cell | <pathology> Fibroblasts with large deposits of mucopolysaccharide, commonly found in storage diseases such as Hurler syndrome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pancreatic acinar cell | <pathology> Cells of the pancreas that secrete digestive enzymes, the archetypal secretory cell upon which much of the early work on the sequence of events in the secretory process was done. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vasoformative cell | A cell in the embryo which develops into blood vessel tissue. An embryonic mesenchymal tissue which differentiates into the blood cells and blood vessels. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pancreatic isleT-cell tumours | <radiology> Insulinoma (beta-cell), usually solitary, 85% benign, gastrinoma, small, slow-growing, multiple, 60% malignant, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: mult. Intractable ulcers, VIPoma, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), WDHA syndrome: watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia, achlorhydria, Verner-Morrison syndrome, glucagonoma, hyperglycaemia, migratory necrolytic erythema APUDomas, associated with MEN-1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| Paneth cell | <pathology> Coarsely granular secretory cells found in the basal regions of crypts in the small intestine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| veil cell | An antigen-presenting cell that has veil-like cytoplasmic processes and circulates in the blood and lymph. Synonym: veiled cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| veiled cell | A cell type found in afferent lymph and defined (rather unsatisfactorily) on the basis of its morphology. Probably an accessory cell migrating from the periphery (where it is referred to as a Langerhans cell if in the skin) to the draining lymph node. In the lymph node known as an interdigitating cell and found in the T dependent areas of spleen or lymph nodes, involved in antigen presentation (Class II MHC positive). Has high levels of surface Ia antigens. (18 Nov 1997) |
| malpighian cell | A cell of the stratum spinosum of the epidermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
