HISTOCOMPATIBILITY
| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
Condition in which the cells of one tissue can survive in the presence of cells of another tissue
Example:
a successful graft or transplant requires a high degree of histocompatibility
Classified under:
Nouns denoting natural phenomena
Hypernyms ("histocompatibility" is a kind of...):
organic phenomenon ((biology) a natural phenomenon involving living plants and animals)
Context examples:
HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A-24 alpha chain protein (365 aa, ~41 kDa) is encoded by the HLA-A gene.
(HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, A-24 Alpha Chain, NCI Thesaurus)
HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ(1) beta chain (261 aa, ~30 kDa) is encoded by the human HLA-DQB1 gene.
(HLA Class II Histocompatibility Antigen DQ(1) Beta Chain, NCI Thesaurus)
This agent lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels, and modulates immune responses by suppressing major histocompatibility complex II on interferon gamma-stimulated, antigen-presenting cells such as human vascular endothelial cells.
(Cerivastatin, NCI Thesaurus)
LAG-3 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) and binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II.
(Anti-LAG-3 Monoclonal Antibody BMS-986016, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes major histocompatibility complex class I-related gene protein, is involved in antigen presentation in the gut.
(MR1 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
KIRs are surface glycoproteins that bind to major histocompatibility complex (MHC)/human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I subtypes on target cells; binding of KIRs inhibits NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
(Anti-KIR Monoclonal Antibody IPH 2101, NCI Thesaurus)
Allogeneic multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs) are non-immunogenic due to the lack of major histocompatibility (MHC) molecule expression, and so elicit no immune response upon administration.
(Allogeneic Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells, NCI Thesaurus)
They are interleukin-2-activated NK cells that have no MHC (major histocompatibility complex) restriction or need for antigen stimulation.
(Murine Lymphokine Activated Killer Cells, NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus.
(Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction Test, NCI Thesaurus)
This agent lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels and modulates immune responses by suppressing MHC II (major histocompatibility complex II) on interferon gamma-stimulated, antigen-presenting cells such as human vascular endothelial cells.
(Atorvastatin, NCI Thesaurus)
