| law of specific nerve energies | Each type of sensory nerve ending, however stimulated (electrically, mechanically, etc.), gives rise to its own specific sensation; moreover, each type of sensation depends not upon any special character of the different nerves but upon the part of the brain in which their fibres terminate. Synonym: law of specific nerve energies. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck) | <enzyme> This enzyme is a lymphoid specific src family tyrosine kinase that is critical for T-cell development and activation. Lck is associated with the cytoplasmic domains of CD4, CD8 and the beta-chain of the il-2 receptor, and is thought to be involved in the earliest steps of tcr-mediated T-cell activation.
