| E classification | <biochemistry> Classification of enzymes based on the recommendations of the Committee on Enzyme Nomenclature of the International Union of Biochemistry. The first number indicates the broad type of enzyme (1 = oxidoreductase, 2 = transferase, 3 = hydrolase, 4 = lyase, 5 = isomerase, 6 = ligase (synthetase)). The second and third numbers indicate subsidiary groupings and the last number, which is unique, is assigned arbitrarily in numerical order by the Committee. (08 Mar 2000) |
| TNM classification | TNM classification provides a system for staging the occurrence of cancer., T refers to the primary tumour and is categorised as being 1-4 and a-d depending upon site, size and spread, N refers to the lymph nodes and they are categorised as being X,0, 1, 2, or 3 depending upon if any, some or all are involved metastasis, and M to the presence or absence of distant metasteses. Refer Staging. (16 Dec 1997) |

| Lancefield classification | A serologic classification dividing haemolytic streptococci into groups (A to O) which bear a definite relationship to their sources, based upon precipitation tests depending upon group-specific substances that are carbohydrate in nature; e.g., Group A contains strains pathogenic for man; B, strains from mastitis in cows and from normal milk, including a few strains from the human throat and vagina; C, strains from various lower animals, including a number from cattle; D, strains from cheese; E, strains from certified milk; F, strains mainly from the human throat, associated with tonsillitis; G, strains from man, a few from monkeys and dogs; and H, K, and O, nonpathogenic strains from normal human respiratory tracts.
