| transfer imaging | The production of an ultrasound image by detection and analysis of sound on the opposite side of the body from the emitting transducer. Synonym: through transfer imaging. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transfer (psychology) | Change in learning in one situation due to prior learning in another situation. The transfer can be positive (with second learning improved by first) or negative (where the reverse holds). (12 Dec 1998) |
| transfer RNA | <molecular biology> A nucleic acid found in all living cells. Plays a role in transferring information from DNA to the protein-forming system of the cell. (16 Dec 1997) |
| energy transfer | The transfer of energy of a given form among different scales of motion. In biochemistry, this concept generally refers to the transfer of groups from compounds that contain energy-rich bonding arrangements to compounds that have relatively energy-poor bonding characteristics via thermodynamically permissible enzymatic reactions. This principle is a major premise of the interaction between energy-producing and energy-utilizing metabolic pathways in living cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zygote intra-fallopian transfer | <gynaecology> In vitro fertilization with a transfer of the zygote into the fallopian tube, a combination of in vitro fertilization and gamete intra-fallopian transfer. An assisted reproduction technique consisting of hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, laparoscopic follicular aspiration of oocytes, in-vitro fertilization, and intra-fallopian transfer of the zygote by transabdominal cannulation at the pronuclear stage (before cleavage). Acronym: ZIFT (12 Dec 1998) |
| fluorescence energy transfer | <technique> Transfer of energy from one fluorochrome to another. The emission wavelength of the fluorochrome excited by the incident light must approximately match the excitation wavelength of the second fluorochrome. If light at the second emission wavelength is detected, it implies that the two fluorochromes were physically within a few nanometres. Used as a technique to probe protein or cell interactions. (25 Jun 1999) |
| Fourier transfer | A mathematical technique to express a time-varying function or signal into components at different frequencies, giving the phase and amplitude of each; used in computed tomography and magnetic resonance image reconstruction transformation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linear energy transfer | <radiobiology> Average amount of energy lost per unit of particle track length and expressed in keV um-1. Acronym: LET (16 Dec 1997) |
| adenovirus e1a proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1a region of adenovirus which are involved in positive regulation of transcription of the early genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1b proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1b region of adenovirus which are involved in regulation of the levels of early and late gene expression. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1 proteins | The very first viral gene products synthesised after cells are infected with adenovirus. The e1 region of the genome has been divided into two major transcriptional units, e1a and e1b, each expressing proteins of the same name (adenovirus e1a proteins and adenovirus e1b proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e2 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e2 region of adenovirus. Several of these are required for viral DNA replication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e3 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e3 region of adenovirus but not essential for viral replication. The e3 19k protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e4 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e4 region of adenovirus. The e4 19k protein transactivates transcription of the adenovirus e2f protein and complexes with it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus early proteins | <molecular biology, protein, virology> Proteins encoded by adenoviruses that are synthesised prior to, and in the absence of, viral DNA replication. The proteins are involved in both positive and negative regulation of expression in viral and cellular genes, and also affect the stability of viral mRNA. Some are also involved in oncogenic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
