| HTLV-blv antigens | Antigens associated with the HTLV-blv viruses. Htlv-I antigens and HTLV-II antigens belong to this group. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| HTLV-I antigens | Antigens associated with the HTLV-I virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| HTLV-II antigens | Antigens associated with the HTLV-II virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Hu antigens | he antigens |
| human leukaemia-associated antigens | Antigen's on the surface of leukaemic cells which seem not to be present on the surfaces of the same type of normal cells; the myeloblast antigen of acute myelogenous leukaemia found in chronic myelogenous leukaemia is thought to be associated with a "blastic" transformation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human leukocyte-associated antigens | Proteins on the outer part of body cells that help fight illness. These proteins vary from person to person. Scientists think that people with certain types of HLA antigens are more likely to develop insulin-dependent diabetes.The HLA antigens are also responsible for histocompatibility reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| specific antigens | Antigen's that characterise a single genus of microorganisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| I antigens | A blood group related both to the abo and p systems that includes several different antigens found in most people on erythrocytes, in milk, and in saliva. The antibodies react only at low temperatures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| I region associated antigens | Class II major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens. (18 Nov 1997) |
| O antigens | Tetra and penta saccharide repeat units of the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria. They are a component of lipopolysaccharide. (18 Nov 1997) |
| oncofetal antigens | Tumour-associated antigen's present in foetal tissue but not in normal adult tissue, including alpha-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| T antigens | Tumour antigens associated wtih replication and transformation by certain DNA tumour viruses, including adenoviruses and papovaviruses. See: beta-haemolytic streptococci, tumour antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epstein-barr virus nuclear antigens | Nuclear antigens encoded by epstein-barr virus genes. at least six nuclear antigens have been identified but their mechanism of action and role in B-cell transformation is still unknown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tumour antigens | Antigens that may be frequently associated with tumours or may be specifically found on tumour cells of the same origin (tumour specific), tumour antigens may also be associated with replication and transformation by certain DNA tumour viruses, including adenoviruses and papovaviruses. Synonym: neoantigens. See: T antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tumour-specific transplantation antigens | Surface antigen's of DNA tumour virus-transformed cells, which elicit an immune rejection of the virus-free cells when transplanted into an animal that has been immunised against the specific cell-transforming virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
