Tests
The determination of the ratio of the biological activity of thrombin dependent coagulation in a subject's specimen when compared to the same activity in a control specimen. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicators
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (562 aa, ~63 kDa) is encoded by the human PLAT gene. This protein plays a role in the cleavage of plasminogen between Arg-580 and Val-581 to form the fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin.
Indicators
This gene may play a role in the regulation of apoptosis.
Indicators
An aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces tenebrarius with bacteriostatic activity. Following active transport into the cell, tobramycin binds irreversibly to a specific aminoglycoside receptor on the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and interferes with the initiation complex between messenger RNA and the 30S subunit, thereby inhibiting initiation of protein synthesis, consequently leading to bacterial cell death. In addition, tobramycin induces misreading of the mRNA template causing incorrect amino acids to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain, consequently interfering with protein elongation.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Toxoplasma gondii DNA in a biological sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in both transcriptional regulation and limb development.
Glossary Term
A genetic process in which single-stranded RNA with base sequence complementary to a region of plus strand DNA is synthesized by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Following the binding of RNA polymerase on DNA promoter regions, the RNA product is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction, elongating RNA along the DNA strand as the polymerase proceeds, accompanied by unwinding and rewinding of the DNA template.
Pcr Terms
Glossary Term
The complete set of RNA transcripts that are produced by the genome, under specific circumstances or in a specific cell.
Pcr Terms
Glossary Term
A class of short adaptor RNAs that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each transfer RNA comprises a three-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the triplet nucleotide coding sequence of an mRNA, conferring specificity to the amino acid being incorporated into the assembling protein.

Indicators
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (390 aa, ~44 kDa) is encoded by the human TGFB1 gene. This protein is involved in cell proliferation, cell death and a large number of signal transduction pathways.
Tests
The determination of the number of the transitional 3 B-lymphocytes in a sample.
