| mixed lymphocyte culture test | Measure of histocompatibility at the hl-a locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way mlc test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with mitomycin c or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mixed lymphocyte reaction | <haematology, immunology, investigation> Reaction of mitogenesis produced in T lymphocytes when allogeneic (i.e. Mixed) lymphocytes are brought together, provided they are mismatched in histocompatibility loci. Once used as a test for possible graft compatibility in human grafting. Now known that a negative reaction is a poor predictor of graft acceptance. (18 Nov 1997) |

| mixed tumour, mesodermal | A sarcoma of the body of the uterus arising in older women, composed of more than one mesenchymal tissue, especially including striated muscle cells. It is associated with previous pelvic radiation exposure in 20% of patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mixed tumour, mullerian | A tumour, basically a carcinoma with a single sarcoma such as leiomyosarcoma or angiosarcoma or multiple sarcomas of uterine origin. The role of oestrogen has been postulated as a possible aetiological factor in this tumour. (holland et al., cancer medicine, 3d ed, p1703) (12 Dec 1998) |
| mixed tumour of salivary gland | A tumour composed of salivary gland epithelium and fibrous tissue with mucoid or cartilaginous areas. Synonym: pleomorphic adenoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
