protection
| conjugated hapten | A hapten that may cause the production of antibodies when it has been covalently linked to protein. Synonym: conjugated antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| half-hapten | A substance that elicits an antigen-antibody reaction, but no precipitation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hapten | <immunology, molecular biology> Could be considered an isolated epitope: although a hapten (by definition) has an antibody directed against it, the hapten alone will not induce an immune response if injected into an animal, it must be conjugated to a carrier (usually a protein). The hapten constitutes a single antigenic determinant, perhaps the best known example is dinitro phenol (DNP) that can be conjugated to BSA and against which antiDNP antibodies are produced (antibodies to the BSA can be adsorbed out). Because the hapten is monovalent, immune complex formation will be blocked if the soluble hapten is present as well as the hapten carrier conjugate (assuming there is more than one hapten per carrier then an immune precipitate can be formed). Competitive inhibition by the soluble small molecule is sometimes referred to as haptenic inhibition and this term has carried over into lectin mediated haemagglutination where monosaccharides are added to try to block haemagglutination: the blocking sugar defines the specificity of the lectin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hapten inhibition of precipitation | Inhibition of precipitation that occurs when the precipitin has combined with hapten of the same specificity as the subsequently added antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Forssman hapten | A glycolipid from mammalian organs. Compare: Forssman antibody, Forssman antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| browse protection | <ecology> Mechanical or chemical protection of shrubs and trees against damage caused by game and grasing animals. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cathodic protection | <chemistry> The attachment of an active metal to a system to protect the system from corrosion. The active metal serves as the anode, making the metal in the system a cathode. (16 Mar 1998) |
| protection | Synonym: protective block. Origin: see protective (05 Mar 2000) |
| protection test | A test to determine the antimicrobial activity of a serum by inoculating a susceptible animal with a mixture of the serum and the virus or other microbe being tested. Synonym: neutralization test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sun protection factor | A number on a scale (from 2 upwards) for rating sunscreens. Sunscreens with an spt of 15 or higher provide the best protection from the sun's harmful rays. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ecological protection | <ecology> Protection consists of measures undertaken to protect and preserve elements of an ecosystem's structure and functions against future degradation. (10 Nov 1998) |
| environmental protection agency | <organisation> The U.S. Regulatory agency for biotechnology of microbes. The major lawsunder which the agency has regulatory powers are the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide act (FIFRA), and the Toxic Substances ControlAct (TSCA). (30 Mar 1998) |
| united states environmental protection agency | An agency in the executive branch which endeavors to abate and control pollution in the areas of air, water, solid waste, noise, radiation, and toxic substances. (12 Dec 1998) |
