| wheat germ agglutinins | Lectins purified from the germinating seeds of common wheat (triticum vulgare); these bind to certain carbohydrate moieties on cell surface glycoproteins and are used to identify certain cell populations and inhibit or promote some immunological or physiological activities. There are at least two isoforms of this lectin. (12 Dec 1998) |

| wheat germ | <plant biology> The embryonic plant at the tip of the seed of wheat. Wheat germ has been used as the starting material for a cell free translation system and is also the source of wheat germ agglutinin. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| wheat germ agglutinin | <plant biology> Lectin from wheat germ that binds to N acetylglucosaminyl and sialic acid residues. See: lectins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate | <chemical> The lectin wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated to the enzyme horseradish peroxidase. It is widely used for tracing neural pathways. Pharmacological action: molecular probes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| wheat germ oil | An oil obtained by expression from the germ of the wheat seed, Triticum aestivum (family Gramineae); one of the richest sources of natural vitamin E; used as a nutritional supplement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| agglutinins | Substances, usually of biological origin, that cause cells or other organic particles to aggregate and stick to each other. They also include those antibodies which cause aggregation or agglutination of a particulate or insoluble antigen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| warm agglutinins | Antibody that reacts with an antigen that is a normal component of the body. Obviously this can lead to some problems and autoimmunity has been proposed as a causative factor in a number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. See: systemic lupus erythematosus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cold agglutinins | <haematology> Antibodies that agglutinate particles with greater activity below 32C. They are IgM antibodies specifically reactive with blood groups I and i in humans and agglutinate red blood cells on cooling, causing Raynaud's phenomenon in vivo. (18 Nov 1997) |
| febrile agglutinins | <investigation> A serologic fluorescent antibody screen that indicates infection with the rickettsial bacteria which is responsible for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. This test may also be positive in brucellosis, salmonella infection and tularaemia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| wheat | <botany> A cereal grass (Triticum vulgare) and its grain, which furnishes a white flour for bread, and, next to rice, is the grain most largely used by the human race. Of this grain the varieties are numerous, as red wheat, white wheat, bald wheat, bearded wheat, winter wheat, summer wheat, and the like. Wheat is not known to exist as a wild native plant, and all statements as to its origin are either incorrect or at best only guesses. Buck wheat. <botany> The grain weevil. The rice weevil when found in wheat. Origin: OE. Whete, AS. Hwte; akin to OS. Hwti, D. Weit, G. Weizen, OHG. Weizzi, Icel. Hveiti, Sw. Hvete, Dan. Hvede, Goth. Hwaiteis, and E. While. See White.

| wheat gum | <protein> The protein of wheat and other grains which gives to the dough its tough elastic character. (18 Nov 1997) |
| wheat pasture poisoning | A highly fatal disease of cows and sheep occurring generally during the first two weeks in the spring after the animals have been out on lush pastures; it is characterised by convulsions, hypomagnesaemia, and usually hypocalcaemia. Synonym: wheat pasture poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wheat peroxidase | <enzyme> Gene of this enzyme is neither pathogen- nor wound-induced in leaves but is constitutively expressed in roots; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.11.1.- Synonym: triticum peroxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| germ | 1. <biology> That which is to develop a new individual; as, the germ of a foetus, of a plant or flower, and the like; the earliest form under which an organism appears. "In the entire process in which a new being originates . Two distinct classes of action participate; namely, the act of generation by which the germ is produced; and the act of development, by which that germ is evolved into the complete organism." (Carpenter) 2. That from which anything springs; origin; first principle; as, the germ of civil liberty. <biology> Disease germ, the theory that living organisms can be produced only by the evolution or development of living germs or seeds. See Biogenesis, and Abiogenesis. As applied to the origin of disease, the theory claims that the zymotic diseases are due to the rapid development and multiplication of various bacteria, the germs or spores of which are either contained in the organism itself, or transferred through the air or water. See Fermentation theory. Origin: F. Germe, fr. L. Germen, germinis, sprout, but, germ. Cf. Germen, Germane. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| germ cell | Cell specialised to produce haploid gametes. The germ cell line is often formed very early in embryonic development. (18 Nov 1997) |
| germ cells | The reproductive cells in multicellular organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
