| serum proteins | Dissolved protein's (more than 100) of blood plasma, mainly albumins and globulins (normally 6 to 8 g/100 ml); they hold fluid in blood vessels by osmosis and include antibodies and blood-clotting protein's. Synonym: serum proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| serum prothrombin conversion accelerator | <chemical> Heat- and storage-stable plasma protein that is activated by tissue thromboplastin to form factor viia in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The activated form then catalyses the activation of factor x to factor xa. Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor VII (12 Dec 1998) |
| serum reaction | A hypersensitivity response (type III) to the injection of large amounts of antigen, as might happen when large amounts of antiserum are given in a passive immunisation. The effects are caused by the presence of soluble immune complexes in the tissues. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum requirement | The amount of serum that must be added to culture medium to permit growth of an animal cell in culture. Transformed cells frequently have less stringent serum requirements than their normal counterparts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum response element | Dyad symmetry element bound by serum response factor to control the expression of c fos. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum response factor | Transcription factor that binds to the serum response element upstream of the site of transcription initiation of genes such as c fos. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum shock | Anaphylactic or anaphylactoid shock caused by the injection of antitoxic or other foreign serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serum sickness | A hypersensitivity response (type III) to the injection of large amounts of antigen, as might happen when large amounts of antiserum are given in a passive immunisation. The effects are caused by the presence of soluble immune complexes in the tissues. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum therapy | Treatment of an infectious disease by injection of an antitoxin or serum containing specific antibody. Synonym: serum therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serum TIBC | <biochemistry, haematology> A test that measures indirectly the transferrin level in the bloodstream. Transferrin is a protein that carries iron in the body. Normal values are 240 to 450 mcg/dl. This test is used to evaluate anaemia. Greater than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in: iron deficiency anaemia, late pregnancy and polycythaemia vera. Lower than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in cirrhosis, sickle cell anaemia, hypoproteinaemia, pernicious anaemia and haemolytic anaemia. The use of birth control pills can lead to increased total iron binding capacity measurements. Acronym: TIBC (12 Jan 1998) |
| serum transferrin | <protein> A protein that carries iron in the bloodstream. The percentage of transferrin that has iron bound to it is increased in situations of iron overdose and in the disease haemochromatosis. Serum transferrin is decreased in cases of protein deficiency. (27 Sep 1997) |
| serum-fast | 1. Pertaining to a serum in which there is little or no change in the titre of antibody, even under conditions of treatment or immunologic stimulation. 2. Resistant to the destructive effect of sera. Synonym: serofast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serumal | Relating to or derived from serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serumal calculus | A greenish or dark brown calcareous deposit on the tooth, usually apical to the gingival margin. Synonym: haematogenetic calculus. Synonym: subgingival calculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nonimmune serum | <immunology> A serum from a subject that is not immune; a serum that is free of antibodies to a given antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| normal horse serum | The sterile and filtered serum of a healthy, unvaccinated horse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal human serum | Sterile serum obtained by pooling approximately equal amounts of the liquid portion of coagulated whole blood from eight or more persons who are free from any disease transmissible by transfusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal human serum albumin | A sterile preparation of serum albumin obtained by fractionating blood plasma proteins from healthy persons; used as a transfusion material and to treat oedema due to hypoproteinaemia. Synonym: dried human albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal serum | A nonimmune serum, usually with reference to a serum obtained prior to immunization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dried human serum | Serum prepared by drying liquid human serum by freeze-drying or by any other method that will avoid denaturation of the proteins and will yield a product readily soluble in a quantity of water equal to the volume of liquid human serum from which it was prepared. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immune serum | Blood serum containing antibodies. (14 Nov 1997) |
| immune serum globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's that contains many antibodies normally present in adult human blood; a passive immunizing agent frequently used for prophylaxis against hepatitis A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunization, serum hepatitis | See Immunization, hepatitis b. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inactivated serum | <immunology> Serum that has been heated 50캜 for 30 minutes to destroy the lytic activity of complement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodinated 125I serum albumin | A sterile, buffered, isotonic solution prepared to contain not less than 10 mg of radioiodinated normal human serum albumin per ml, and adjusted to provide not more than 1 mCi of radioactivity per ml; used as a diagnostic aid in determining blood volume and cardiac output. Synonym: radioiodinated serum albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iodinated 131I human serum albumin | A sterile, buffered, isotonic solution prepared to contain not less than 10 mg of radioiodinated normal human serum albumin per ml, and adjusted to provide not more than 1 mCi of radioactivity per ml; used as a diagnostic aid in the measurement of blood volume and cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyrotoxic serum | An antiserum obtained by injecting into animals the nucleoproteins of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine serum hepatitis | <veterinary> An acute hepatic disease of the horse, often associated with prior administration of biological products; neurologic signs and jaundice are usually prominent signs; aetiology is unknown. Synonym: Theiler's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| truth serum | Colloquialism for a drug, such as amobarbital sodium or thiopental sodium, intravenously injected for the purpose of eliciting information from the subject under its influence; a misnomer because the subject's revelations may or may not be factually true, and its legal status and use is questionable.
