| herpes virus 1, human | The type species of simplexvirus causing most forms of non-genital herpes simplex in humans. Primary infection occurs mainly in infants and young children and then the virus becomes latent in the dorsal root ganglion. It then is periodically reactivated throughout life causing mostly benign conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 2, human | A species of simplexvirus associated with genital infections (herpes genitalis). It is transmitted by sexual intercourse and close personal contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 3, human | The type species of varicellovirus causing chickenpox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles) in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 4, human | A species of lymphocryptovirus cultivated from cultures of burkitt lymphoma. It is thought to be the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 6, human | The type species of roseolovirus isolated from patients with aids and other lymphoproliferative disorders. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of haematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter nk cell activity. Hhv-6 (hblv) antibodies are elevated in patients with aids, sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain malignancies. Hhv-6 is the cause of exanthema subitum and has been implicated in encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 7, human | A species of the family herpesviridae isolated from activated, CD4-positive T-lymphocytes taken from the blood of a healthy human. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin | A human hormone made by chorionic cells (in the foetal part of the placenta), hcg is directed at the gonads and stimulates them. Hcg becomes detectable (by immunologic means) within days of the time of fertilization. It therefore forms the foundation of most common pregnancy tests. The level of hcg in maternal serum enters as one component in the double and the triple screens used during pregnancy to assign risks of down syndrome and other foetal disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |

| human a1-proteinase inhibitor | A glycoprotein that is the major protease inhibitor of human serum, is synthesised in the liver, and is genetically polymorphic due to the presence of over 20 alleles; individuals appropriately homozygous are deficient in a1-trypsin and are predisposed to pulmonary emphysema and juvenile hepatic cirrhosis because of alterations in the amino acid and sialic acid components of the glycoprotein. A1-Antitrypsin also inhibits thrombin. Synonym: a1-trypsin inhibitor, human a1-proteinase inhibitor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human activities | Activities performed by humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human antihemophilic factor | A lyophilised concentrate of factor VIII, obtained from fresh normal human plasma; used as a haemostatic agent in haemophilia. Synonym: antihemophilic globulin, human antihemophilic fraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human antihemophilic fraction | A lyophilised concentrate of factor VIII, obtained from fresh normal human plasma; used as a haemostatic agent in haemophilia. Synonym: antihemophilic globulin, human antihemophilic fraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
