| oligoclonal band | Small discrete bands in the gamma globulin region of the spinal fluid electrophoresis, indicating local central nervous system production of IgG; bands are frequently seen in patients with multiple sclerosis but can also be found in other diseases of the central nervous system including syphilis, sarcoidosis, and chronic infection or inflammation.

| uncus band of Giacomini | A slender whitish band, the attenuated anterior continuation of the dentate gyrus (fascia dentata), crossing transversally the surface of the recurved part of the uncus gyri parahippocampalis. Synonym: band of Giacomini, cauda fasciae dentatae, frenulum of Giacomini, tail of dentate gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Z band | <cell biology> The line formed where actin filaments attach between two sarcomeres. (11 May 1997) |

| angiotensin III | <chemical> A heptapeptide formed by the enzymatic hydrolysis of angiotensin II. It has greater activity than angiotensin II for stimulating aldosterone synthesis and in the release of prostaglandins but only 20% of the pressor activity. Chemical name: Angiotensin II, 1-de-L-aspartic acid- (12 Dec 1998) |
| annexin III | <enzyme> A protein of the annexin family that catalyses the conversion of 1-d-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate and water to 1-d-myo-inositol 1-phosphate. Chemical name: 1-D-myo-Inositol-1,2-cyclic-phosphate 2-inositolphosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.4.36 (12 Dec 1998) |
| antithrombin III | <haematology> Antithrombin III is a protein which stimulates the removal of blood clots in the bloodstream. Small blood clots form normally within the bloodstream, but are normally dissolved via the bodys antithrombin III. Conditions that may have an associated low value of antithrombin III include: liver disease and DIC. Normal values are: 0.20 to 0.45 mg/ml or more than 50% of the laboratory control value. Conditions where there is a deficiency of this important protease inhibitor can result in a condition of hypercoagulation, resulting in an increased risk for blood clot formation. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (13 Jan 1998) |
| apolipoprotein C-III | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arsenazo III | <chemical> Metallochrome indicator that changes colour when complexed to the calcium ion under physiological conditions. It is used to measure local calcium ion concentrations in vivo. Pharmacological action: dyes, indicators and reagents. Chemical name: 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 3,6-bis((2-arsonophenyl)azo)-4,5-dihydroxy- (12 Dec 1998) |
