| bacteriophage lambda | <microbiology, virology> A bacteriophage, or virus which infects bacteria, that infects E. Coli. It has a complex set of regulatory mechanisms to determine whether it will quietly insert its DNA into the bacterial genome to become dormant and to be reproduced whenever the bacterium reproduces (to lysogenize), or whether it will hijack the bacterium's cellular machinery to reproduce itself and prepare to infect more bacteria, causing the bacterium to self-destruct shortly after infection (to lyse). Lambda is particularly useful to geneticists because parts of it can be used to introduce foreign DNA into the bacterial genome, it is a cloning vector. (09 Oct 1997) |

| immunoglobulins, lambda-chain | One of the light chains of the immunoglobulins with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kD. They constitute about 40% of all light chains and can be recognised serologically as well as by their specific amino acid sequence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| exonuclease lambda | An exonuclease enzyme that removes nucleotides from the 5' end of duplex DNA which have 5'-phosphate groups attached to them. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lambda | 1. The name of the Greek letter lambda, corresponding with the English letter L, l. 2. <anatomy> The point of junction of the sagittal and lambdoid sutures of the skull. <zoology> Lambda moth, a moth so called from a mark on its wings, resembling the Greek letter. Origin: NL, fr. Gr. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| lambda bacteriophage | <virology> Bacterial DNA virus, first isolated from E. Coli. Its structure is similar to that of the T even phages. Lambda genetic material consists of a double-stranded DNA molecule with 5' twelve-base-pair sticky ends, known as cos sites, which permit circularisation of the DNA molecule. It shows a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle and studies on the control of these alternative cycles have been very important for our understanding of the regulation of gene transcription. It is used as a cloning vector, accommodating fragments of DNA up to 15 kilobase pairs long. For larger pieces, the cosmid vector was constructed from its ends. (14 Mar 2000) |
| lambda chain | <immunology> Although light chains are found in many multimeric proteins, L chain usually refers to the light chains of immunoglobulins. These are of 22 kD and of one of two types, kappa or lambda. A single immunoglobulin has identical light chains (2 kappa or 2 lamda). Light chains have one variable and one constant region. There are isotype variants of both kappa and lamda. (25 Jun 1999) |
