| CIg | intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin |
| cIgM | cytoplasmic immunoglobulin M |
| CIT | citrate; combined intermittent therapy; conjugated-immunoglobulin technique; crossed intrinsic trans... |
| Fc | centroid frequency; fraction/centrifuge; fragment, crystallizable [of immunoglobulin] |
| sternocleidomastoid region | The region overlying the sternocleidomastoid muscle, including the lesser supraclavicular fossa. Synonym: regio sternocleidomastoidea. (05 Mar 2000) |

| suboccipital region | Upper back of neck, inferior to occipital region of head and above the level of the second cervical vertebra; overlies (or includes, deeply) the suboccipital triangle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nuchal region | The back of neck, including the suboccipital region. Synonym: regio nuchalis, nuchal region, posterior neck region, regio cervicalis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleoid region | Area in a prokaryotic cell that contains the genetic material. (14 Nov 1997) |
| nucleolus organiser region | The chromosome region which is active in nucleolus formation and which functions in the synthesis of ribosomal RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sural region | The muscular swelling of the back of the leg below the knee, formed chiefly by the bellies of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Synonym: regio suralis, sura, calf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deltoid region | The lateral aspect of the shoulder demarcated by the outlines of the deltoid muscle. Synonym: regio deltoidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| switch region | <molecular biology> The nucleotide sequences in heavy chain immunoglobulin genes located in the introns at the 5' end of each CH locus concerned with DNA recombination events that lead to changes in the type of heavy chain produced by a B-cell, for example IgM to IgG switching. These regions are highly conserved sequences. See: isotype switching. (19 Jan 1998) |
