| 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) |
| Jansky's classification | The classification of human blood groups now designated O, A, B, and AB. (05 Mar 2000) |
| FAB classification | <haematology> The classification of acute myeloid leukaemia on the basis of bone marrow and peripheral blood features. M0: Acute myeloid leukaemia with minimal evidence of myeloid differentiation. M1: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia. M2: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia with differentiation. M3: Acute promyelocytic leukaemia. M4: Acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. M5: Acute monocytic leukaemia. M6: Acute erythroleukaemia. M7: Acute megakaryocytic leukaemia. Acronym: FAB (07 Apr 1998) |
| Kennedy classification | <dentistry> A listing of several forms of partially edentulous jaws in accordance with the distribution of the missing teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kiel classification | Classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma into low-grade malignancy (lymphocytic, lymphoplasmacytoid, centrocytic, and centroblastic-centrocytic types) and high-grade malignancy (centroblastic, lymphoblastic of Burkitt's or convoluted cell, and immunoblastic types). Synonym: Lennert classification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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.

| French-American-British classification | <haematology> The classification of acute myeloid leukaemia on the basis of bone marrow and peripheral blood features. M0: Acute myeloid leukaemia with minimal evidence of myeloid differentiation. M1: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia. M2: Acute myeloblastic leukaemia with differentiation. M3: Acute promyelocytic leukaemia. M4: Acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. M5: Acute monocytic leukaemia. M6: Acute erythroleukaemia. M7: Acute megakaryocytic leukaemia. Acronym: FAB (07 Apr 1998) |
| Lennert classification | Classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma into low-grade malignancy (lymphocytic, lymphoplasmacytoid, centrocytic, and centroblastic-centrocytic types) and high-grade malignancy (centroblastic, lymphoblastic of Burkitt's or convoluted cell, and immunoblastic types). Synonym: Lennert classification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lukes-Collins classification | A classification of lymphomas according to the immunologic nature of the cell of origin, based on histologic and clinical data. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ABO blood group | <haematology> The major human blood type system which describes the oligosaccharide glycoprotein antigens found on the surface of human blood cells. According to the type of antigen present, a person may be assigned a blood type of A, B, AB or O. A second type of antigen, the Rh factor, renders a positive or negative blood type. The ABO blood group system is important because it determines who can donate blood to or accept blood from whom. Type A or AB blood will cause an immune reaction in people with type B blood and type B and AB blood will cause a reaction in people with type A blood. Conversely, type O blood has no A or B antigens, so people with type O blood are universal donors. And since AB blood already produces both antigens, people who are type AB can accept any of the other blood types without suffering an immune reaction. (04 Jul 1999) |
| actinobacteria group | A group of gram-positive, heterogeneous bacteria. This group encompasses a range of morphologically, physiologically, and chemically different organisms and includes bacteria that form cocci, short rods, irregular rods, and mycelia that fragment. (12 Dec 1998) |
