| cellular tumour | A tumour composed mainly of closely packed cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunity, cellular | Those manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitised T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acquired immunodeficiency disease | Acquired immunodeficiency disease: Disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome | <immunology, syndrome> An epidemic disease caused by an infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2), a retrovirus that causes immune system failure and debilitation and is often accompanied by infections such as tuberculosis. AIDS is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids. Acronym: AIDS (10 May 1997) |
| bovine immunodeficiency virus | A lentivirus causing lymphocytosis in cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignancy and immunodeficiency | <radiology> High risk of malignancy (especially lymphoma/leukaemia, GI tumours): X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (Bruton's), common variable immunodeficiency, severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID kids), ataxia-telangectasia, Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, selective IgA deficiency (12 Dec 1998) |
| phagocytic dysfunction disorders immunodeficiency | Suppression in number or function of phagocytic cells such as in chronic granulomatous disease. Synonym: phagocytic dysfunction disorders immunodeficiency. Origin: L. Phagedaena, Gr Phago, To eat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phagocytic dysfunction immunodeficiency | Suppression in number or function of phagocytic cells such as in chronic granulomatous disease. Synonym: phagocytic dysfunction disorders immunodeficiency. Origin: L. Phagedaena, Gr Phago, To eat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| combined immunodeficiency | <immunology> Congenital immunodeficiency with thymic agenesis, lymphocyte depletion and hypogammaglobulinaemia: both cellular and humoral immune systems are affected and life expectancy is low unless marrow transplantation is successful. (18 Nov 1997) |
| combined immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> A serious primary immunodeficiency affecting both T and B-cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common variable immunodeficiency | Heterogeneous group of immunodeficiency syndromes characterised by hypogammaglobulinaemia of most isotypes, variable B-cell defects, and the presence of recurrent bacterial infections. (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital severe combined immunodeficiency | Disease, one form of which is caused by the lack of a transcription factor required for expression of HLA class II genes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired defect of cellular immunity that occurs in mice infected with mouse leukaemia viruses (mulv). The syndrome shows striking similarities with human aids and is characterised by lymphadenopathy, profound immunosuppression, enhanced susceptibility to opportunistic infections, and B-cell lymphomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secondary immunodeficiency | Immunodeficiency in which there is no evident defect in the lymphoid tissues, but rather hypercatabolism or loss of immunoglobulins such as occurs in familial idiopathic hypercatabolic hypoproteinaemia or in defects associated with the nephrotic syndrome. Synonym: secondary agammaglobulinaemia, secondary antibody deficiency, secondary hypogammaglobulinaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
