| 영문 | stem cell | 한글 | 줄기세포, 간세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| proliferating cell nuclear antigen | Acidic nuclear protein (33 kD) highly expressed in dividing cells. Interacts with D type cyclins. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| senescent cell antigen | <immunology> An antigen (62 kD) that appears on the surface of senescent erythrocytes and is immunologically cross reactive with isolated Band III protein. Seems to be recognised by an autoantibody and the immunoglobulin coated erythrocyte is then removed from circulation by cells such as Kuppfer cells of the liver that have Fc receptors. Intracellular cleavage of intact band III by a calcium activated protease, calpain, may reveal the antigen in situ. (18 Nov 1997) |
| islet cell antigen-related protein-tyrosine phosphatase | <enzyme> Receptor-like autoantigen found in insulin-dependent diabetes; genbank l76258 Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: iar ptp (26 Jun 1999) |
| T-cell antigen receptors | Receptors present on T-cells that interact with both processed antigen and major histocompatibility antigens simultaneously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| T-cell-rich, B-cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma in which more than 90% of the cells are of T-cell origin, masking the large cells that form the neoplastic B-cell component. See: adult T-cell lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetone-insoluble antigen | A diphosphatidyl glycerol that is found in the membrane of Treponema pallidum and is the antigen detected by the Wasserman test for syphilis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| allogeneic antigen | Genetic variations of the same antigens within a given species. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen | Virus coded cell surface antigens that appear soon after the infection of a cell by virus, but before virus replication has begun. See: early gene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antigen-antibody complex | The complex formed by the binding of antigen and antibody molecules. The deposition of large antigen-antibody complexes leading to tissue damage causes immune complex diseases. If the antigen is polyvalent the complex may be insoluble. Immune complexes activate complement through the classical pathway. See: glomerulonephritis, Arthus reaction, type III hypersensitivity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigen-antibody reaction | The phenomenon, occurring in vitro or in vivo, of antibody combining with antigen of the type that stimulated the formation of the antibody, thereby resulting in agglutination, precipitation, complement fixation, greater susceptibility to ingestion and destruction by phagocytes, or neutralization of exotoxin. See: skin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen-binding site | <immunology> In immune network theory, an idiotope, an antigenic site of an antibody that is responsible for that antibody binding to an antigenic determinant (epitope). Also used of the site on a ligand molecule to which a cell surface receptor binds. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antigen-combining site | See: paratope. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen excess | In a precipitation test, the presence of uncombined antigen above that required to combine with all of the antibody; precipitation may be inhibited because the presence of excess antigen gives rise to soluble antigen-antibody complexes, in vivo the resultant antigen-antibody interaction in such an antigen excess may give rise to immune complexes, which have a potential to induce cellular damage; such injury underlies the pathologic changes seen in certain immune complex diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen interferon | <cytokine> Interferon elaborated by T lymphocytes in response to either specific antigen or mitogenic stimulation. This type II interferon can be produced by recombinant DNA technology and is similar to the interferon secreted by lymphocytes and has antiviral and antineoplastic activity. Synonym: antigen interferon, immune interferon. Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent, antiviral agents. (20 Sep 2002) |
| antigen p150,95 | A major adhesion-associated heterodimer molecule expressed by human monocytes, granulocytes, nk cells, and some lymphocytes. The alpha subunit is the CD11c antigen (also called leu-m5), a surface antigen expressed on some myeloid cells. The beta subunit is the CD18 antigen (antigens, CD18). The p150,95 antigen has been shown to play an important role in cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesive interactions. (12 Dec 1998) |
