| MN blood group antigens | <haematology, immunology> A pair of blood group antigens governed by genes that segregate independently of the ABO locus. The alleles are codominant and there are three types MM, NN and MN. Glycophorin has M or N activity and this is associated with oligosaccharides attached to the amino terminal portion of the molecule. M type glycophorin differs from N type in amino acid residues 1 and 5, although the antigenic determinants are associated with the carbohydrate side chains. (18 Nov 1997) |

| mnss blood-group system | A system of universal human blood group isoantigens with many associated subgroups. The m and n traits are codominant and the s and s traits are probably very closely linked alleles, including the u antigen. This system is most frequently used in paternity studies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| collective group | <zoology> An aggregate of related species of which the generic position is uncertain. According to the Code, for the sake of taxonomic convenience, may be treated as a genus. Such a collective group does not require a type species. Assignment to a collective group is a temporary, convenient, identifying label. (09 Jan 1998) |
| collective-group name | 1. A name established expressly for a collective group. 2. A name established for a nominal genus or subgenus and later used for a collective group. (09 Jan 1998) |

| HACEK group | A group of Gram-negative bacteria that includes Haemophilus spp., Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, and Kingella kingae. Bacteria in this group have in common a culture requirement of an enhanced carbon dioxide atmosphere and ability to infect human heart valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
