|---|---|
| basic personality type | An individual's unique, covert, or underlying personality propensities, whether or not they are behaviourally manifest or overt, personality characteristics of an individual which are also shared by a majority of the members of a social group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basic polypeptide-activated protein kinase | <enzyme> Requires mn2+ for its activity; from bombyx mori; does not require cyclicamp, cyclicgmp or ca Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ba kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| basic proteins | Proteins that are rich in basic amino acids; e.g., histones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basic reaction | Any test by which an alkaline reaction is recognised, such as the change of red litmus paper to blue, an excess of hydroxide ions over hydrogen ions in aqueous solution as indicated by a pH value greater than 7 (at 22캜). Compare: dissociation constant of water. Synonym: basic reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basic reproductive rate, ratio | <epidemiology> See Reproductive Ratio. (05 Dec 1998) |
| basic salt | A salt in which there are one or more hydroxyl ions not replaced by the electronegative element of an acid; e.g., Fe(OH)2Cl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basic stain | <technique> A dye in which the cation is the coloured component of the dye molecule that binds to anionic groups of nucleic acids (PO4≡) or acidic mucopolysaccharides (e.g., chondroitin sulfate). (05 Mar 2000) |
| platelet basic protein | <protein> Protein that is the precursor of connective tissue activating peptide III and _ thromboglobulin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myelin basic protein | <protein> Major component of the myelin sheath in mammalian CNS. Used as an antigen will induce a allergic encephalitis, possibly a model for some neurodegenerative disorders. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myelin basic protein kinase | <enzyme> Protein from pig brain activates ATP-mg-dependent protein phosphatase; a protein tau kinase; a multisubstrate kinase; in texts written as f subscript a Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: protein phosphatase activator fa, glycogen synthase kinase 3, protein kinase f(a), gsk-3, gsk-3alpha, kinase f(a), gsk-3beta, mds1 gene product, p63(samk), src-activated mbp kinase, p63(mapk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| myelin basic proteins | A group of 7 proteins produced from a single gene by alternate splicing found in central and peripheral nervous system myelin. The major basic protein (mbp) has long been of interest because it is the antigen, that, when injected into an animal, elicits a cellular immune response that produces the CNS autoimmune disease called experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (encephalomyelitis, allergic). In the peripheral nervous system, myelin basic protein 18.5 kD is often referred to as the p1 protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haematoxylin-malachite green-basic fuchsin stain | <technique> A stain for epoxy resin-extracted sections; semi-thick sections have their plastic dissolved out and the residual tissue is stained sequentially with the various dyes; nuclei and astrocytes are purplish-pink and myelin, lipid droplets, nucleoli, and oligodendrocytes are bright blue-green. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accretionary growth | Growth by an increase of intercellular material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appositional growth | Growth accomplished by the addition of new layers on those previously formed; e.g., the addition of lamellae in the formation of bone; it is the characteristic method of growth when rigid materials are involved. (05 Mar 2000) |
