| multi-colony-stimulating factor | <cytokine> Product of mitogen activated T-cells: colony-stimulating factor for bone marrow stem cells and mast cells. A multilineage cell growth factor secreted by lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and astrocytes which stimulates clonal proliferation and differentiation of various types of blood and tissue cells. It is considered one of the haematopoietic colony-stimulating factors. Synonym: multi-CSF Acronym: IL-3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| multipotential colony-stimulating factor | <cytokine> Product of mitogen activated T-cells: colony-stimulating factor for bone marrow stem cells and mast cells.

It is considered one of the haematopoietic colony-stimulating factors. Synonym: multi-CSF Acronym: IL-3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| H colony | <cell culture> A colony of motile organisms forming a thin film of growth. Compare: O colony. Origin: Ger. Hauch, breath (05 Mar 2000) |
| smooth colony | A bacterial colony with a glistening, rounded surface; this type of colony is usually associated with increased virulence with respect to that of rough colony's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spheroid colony | A colony of protozoa in which the individual cells are held together in a coherent spherical mass by a gelatinoid material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| daughter colony | A secondary colony growing on the surface of an older colony; it is smaller and may have characteristics different from those of the mother colony. (05 Mar 2000) |
| O colony | Growth of a nonmotile bacterium in discrete, compact colony's in contrast to a film of growth produced by some motile bacteria. Compare: H colony. Origin: Ger. Ohne Hauch, without breath (05 Mar 2000) |
| filamentous colony | In bacteriology, a colony composed of long, interwoven, irregularly disposed threads. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular colony | A bacterial colony shaped like a lentil or a double-convex lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetyl reduction assay | <investigation> A technique for measuring the nitrogen fixation activity in photosynthetic organisms. It uses a flame ionisation detector and a gas chromatography apparatus to determine the reduction of acetylene to ethylene by the enzyme nitrogenase. (06 May 1997) |
| Ames assay | <procedure> One of a number of procedures used to test substances for likely ability to cause cancer that combines the use of animal tissue to generate active metabolites of the substance with a test for mutagenicity in bacteria. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antibiotic assay | <investigation> A test to determine how sensitive a bacterial or fungal strain is to arange of antibiotics bymeasuring the microbes' ability to grow in astandard dilution of each chemical. (09 Oct 1997) |
| assay | <procedure> The determination of the amount of a particular constituent of a mixture or of the biological or pharmacological potency of a drug. (10 May 1997) |
| bandshift assay | <investigation> An assay for proteins, such as transcription factors, that bind specific DNA sequences. A labelled oligonucleotide corresponding to the recognition sequence is incubated with an appropriate nuclear protein extract and run on a nondenaturing acrylamide gel. Oligonucleotides that have been bound by proteins are retarded relative to those that are unbound. (18 Nov 1997) |
