Record 1 2023-03-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
DEF

[A state characterized by] a negative serum reaction especially in a test for the presence of an antibody.

CONT

The... study evaluated the prevalence of measles antibody within [the] population at four months after immunization.... seronegativity was defined as the absence of specific antibody in both the IFA [indirect immunofluorescence] and the ELISA [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay], while seropositivity was defined by presence of antibody in either the IFA or the ELISA.

PHR

HIV, rubella seronegativity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
DEF

Absence dans le sérum sanguin d'anticorps spécifiques d'un antigène donné.

CONT

[...] le suivi se fera sur 6 mois, avec des prises de sang étalonnées sur cette période pour vérifier la séronégativité [...]

PHR

Certificat de séronégativité.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vessels (Medicine)
  • Veterinary Medicine
CONT

When the antibodies are applied to fixed cells whose membranes have been made permeable to large molecules, they pass through the cell membrane and coat the microfilaments inside. A fluorescent label is then attached to the coated fibers, making them glow brightly when they are observed in the fluorescence microscope. This technique, called indirect immunofluorescence, is presently utilized by many investigators to make visible a variety of subcellular fibers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vaisseaux (Médecine)
  • Médecine vétérinaire
CONT

Technique caractérisée par l'utilisation d'un agent de marquage fluorescent sur des fibres cellulaires recouvertes d'anticorps.

CONT

Lorsque j'ai utilisé la technique de l'immunofluorescence indirecte pour mettre en évidence le réseau de microfilaments dans un couple de cellules-filles, j'ai constaté que l'organisation des fibres dans une cellule-fille était bien l'image dans un miroir de l'organisation observée dans l'autre.

Record 3 1997-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

The residents will be exposed to the following areas : protein electrophoresis and immunofixation; direct and indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme immunohistology procedures; flow cytometry, including DNA ploidy/cell cycle analysis; anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(ANCA) and anti-nuclear antibodies; enzyme immunoassay; in situ hybridization; and direct and indirect in situ PCR.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Son principe est basé sur l'incorporation des nucléotides non marqués. La détection des produits amplifiés est réalisée par hybridation in situ classique grâce à des sondes radiomarquées ou couplées à un haptène.

OBS

Cette méthode de révélation est très spécifique et peut être comparée dans son principe au transfert de Southern (Southern blot) qui est, entre autres, employé pour confirmer les résultats obtenus par PCR liquide.

Record 4 1993-03-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Fluorescent antibody technique : an immunofluorescence technique in which antigen in tissue sections is located by homologous antibody labeled with fluorochrome(the single-layer technique) or by treating the antigen with unlabeled antibody followed by a second layer of labeled antiglobulin which is reactive with the unlabeled antibody(double-layer technique). Variations includes direct, indirect, inhibition, and complement staining technique.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Technique (d'immunofluorescence) utilisant le complément : la réaction de l'anticorps spécifique avec le tissu entraîne la fixation du complément, secondairement ajouté à la préparation. Le complément est révélé par un antisérum marqué dirigé contre un facteur du complément (d'après S. Sell).

Record 5 1993-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

An autoantibody that is reactive with cytoplasmic constituents of smooth muscle from many species. It characteristically occurs in patients with chronic active hepatitis or, less often, in biliary cirrhosis, viral hepatitis or infectious mononucleosis. Indirect immunofluorescence is used to demonstrate its presence in serum.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
DEF

Anticorps dirigés contre des déterminants antigéniques du sarcoplasme des fibres musculaires lisses. [...] Les anticorps anti-muscle lisse sont trouvés [...] dans l'hépatite chronique active, plus rarement dans les cirrhoses biliaires primitives, et [...] chez les malades atteints de polyarthrite chronique évolutive ou de maladie de Hodgkin.

CONT

Les anticorps les plus fréquemment trouvés au cours de la maladie (hépatite chronique active auto-immune) sont les anti-nucléaires et les anti-muscle lisse [...].
