Glossary Term
The substitution of some value for a missing data point or a missing component of a data point.
Glossary Term
A measure of the likelihood that a significance test will detect an effect or difference in a sample if the effect or difference exists in the entire population from which that sample was taken.
Glossary Term
A test used to determine the statistical significance of an observation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Streptococcus genus organisms in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A IgG antibody present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 33F IgG antibody present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 6B IgG antibody present in a sample.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of both transcription and signaling.
Glossary Term
The liquid lying above a liquid, solid or semi-solid residue, which is separated by crystallization, precipitation or centrifugation of a biological sample.
Glossary Term
A method for converting an individual score into a standard form. While similar to a z-score, t-score is used when the conversion is made without knowledge of the population standard deviation and mean.
Indicators
A macrolide isolated from Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Tacrolimus binds to the FKBP-12 protein and forms a complex with calcium-dependent proteins, thereby inhibiting calcineurin phosphatase activity and resulting in decreased cytokine production. This agent exhibits potent immunosuppressive activity in vivo and prevents the activation of T-lymphocytes in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. Tacrolimus possesses similar immunosuppressive properties to cyclosporine, but is more potent.
Indicators
Tumor-associated oncofetal glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) is a high molecular weight (220-400 kD) complex expressed by a wide variety of human adenocarcinomas. This antigen is expressed by a majority of invasive ductal breast carcinomas, and most colon, pancreatic, gastric, esophageal, lung (non-small cell), ovarian and endometrial adenocarcinomas, and on normal secretory endometrium, but not on other normal tissues. It is not expressed by leukemias, lymphomas, sarcomas, mesotheliomas, melanomas or benign tumors. The monoclonal antibodies against TAG-72 have been widely employed for the immunohistochemical analysis of adenocarcinomas as well as for radioimmunoscintigraphy and radioimmunoguided surgery.
