| leukocyte disorders | Disordered formation of various types of leukocytes or an abnormal accumulation or deficiency of these cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| leukocyte elastase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of proteins, including elastin. It cleaves preferentially bonds at the carboxyl side of ala and val, with greater specificity for ala. Registry number: EC 3.4.21.37 (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukocyte esterase | <enzyme> The presence of leukocyte esterase is indirect evidence for the presence of white blood cells in the urine. The standard urinalysis dip test allows for the quick determination of leukocyte esterase presence via a colour reaction on a urine test strip. A positive test indicates a urinary tract infection. (27 Sep 1997) |
| leukocyte inclusions | Discrete round or oval body's ranging in diameter from just visible to 2 um, which stain sky blue to gray blue with Romanowsky stains, found in neutrophils of patients with infections, burns, trauma, pregnancy, or cancer. Synonym: Dohle inclusions, leukocyte inclusions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukocyte interferon | <cytokine> One of the type I interferons produced by peripheral blood leukocytes or lymphoblastoid cells when exposed to live or inactivated virus, double-stranded RNA, or bacterial products. It is the major interferon produced by virus-induced leukocyte cultures and, in addition to its pronounced antiviral activity, causes activation of NK cells. It is used experimentally in the treatment of hairy-cell leukaemia. A number of different subtypes exist that are elaborated by leukocytes in response to viral infection or stimulation with double-stranded RNA; IFN-alpha-2A and -2B are protein products made by recombinant DNA techniques and are used as antineoplastic agents. See: interferon-alpha 2a, interferon-alpha 2b Synonym: leukocyte interferon. Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent, antiviral agent. (20 Sep 2002) |
| leukocyte migration-inhibitory factors | Protein factor(s) released by sensitised lymphocytes (and possibly other cells) that inhibit the movement of leukocytes, especially polymorphonuclear cells, away from their site of release. Assays for these factors are used as tests for cellular immunity. Two of the common assays are the leukocyte migration capillary tube technique (lmct) and the leukocyte migration agarose technique (lmat). (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukocyte transfusion | The transfer of leukocytes from a donor to a recipient or reinfusion to the donor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukocyte tyrosine kinase receptor tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> May be receptor for pre-b lymphocyte growth or differentiation factor; aa sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ltk receptor tyrosine kinase, ltk receptor tk, ltk protein, leukocyte tyrosine kinase (ltk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| acetyl CoA carboxylase phosphatase | <enzyme> Phosphatase occurs in complex with the carboxylase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: acc-phosphatase, acetyl coenzyme a carboxylase phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acid phosphatase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of an orthophosphoric monoester and water to an alcohol and orthophosphate. Chemical name: Orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum) Registry number: EC 3.1.3.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid phosphatase test for semen | A screening test for semen by determining acid phosphatase content; because seminal fluid contains high concentrations of acid phosphatase, while other body fluids and extraneous foreign materials have very low concentrations, high values of acid phosphatase on vaginal aspirate or lavage, or on wash fluid from stains, render positive identification of semen, even if the male is aspermic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| PAC1 phosphatase | <enzyme> An immediate-early mitogen-inducible tyrosine phosphatase; a map kinase phosphatase; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: pac-1 (26 Jun 1999) |
| galactose-1-phosphatase | <enzyme> From rat brain; requires mg for activity; phosphate is potent inhibitor Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| CD45 phosphatase | <enzyme> Reverses glycoprotein cd3-induced microtubule-associated protein-2 kinase activity in jurkat t-cells Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: glycoprotein-cd45 phosphatase, cd45 ptpase, cd45 phosphotyrosine phosphatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glucose-1-phosphatase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of d-glucose 1-phosphate and water to d-glucose and orthophosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.3.10 Synonym: agp gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
