Vaccines, Inactivated
|
D015164 |
[Vaccines in which the infectious microbial nucleic acid components have been destroyed by chemical or physical treatment (e.g., formalin, beta-propiolactone, gamma radiation) without affecting the antigenicity or immunogenicity of the viral coat or bacterial outer membrane proteins.
] |
|
Vaccines, Live, Unattenuated
|
D062690 |
[Live vaccines prepared from microorganisms without their virulence altered. Examples include smallpox (vaccinia) and adenovirus vaccines.
] |
|
Vaccines, Marker
|
D022581 |
[Vaccines used in conjunction with diagnostic tests to differentiate vaccinated animals from carrier animals. Marker vaccines can be either a subunit or a gene-deleted vaccine.
] |
|
Vaccines, Subunit
|
D022223 |
[Vaccines consisting of one or more antigens that stimulate a strong immune response. They are purified from microorganisms or produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or they can be chemically synthesized peptides.
] |
|
Vaccines, Synthetic
|
D014614 |
[Small synthetic peptides that mimic surface antigens of pathogens and are immunogenic, or vaccines manufactured with the aid of recombinant DNA techniques. The latter vaccines may also be whole viruses whose nucleic acids have been modified.
] |
|
Vaccines, Virosome
|
D022721 |
[Vaccines using VIROSOMES as the antigen delivery system that stimulates the desired immune response.
] |
|
Vaccines, Virus-Like Particle
|
D058425 |
[Vaccines using supra-molecular structures composed of multiple copies of recombinantly expressed viral structural proteins. They are often antigentically indistinguishable from the virus from which they were derived.
] |
|
Vaccinia
|
D014615 |
[The cutaneous and occasional systemic reactions associated with vaccination using smallpox (variola) vaccine.
] |
|
Vaccinia virus
|
D014616 |
[The type species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS, related to COWPOX VIRUS, but whose true origin is unknown. It has been used as a live vaccine against SMALLPOX. It is also used as a vector for inserting foreign DNA into animals. Rabbitpox virus is a subspecies of VACCINIA VIRUS.

Vaccinium
|
D029796 |
[A plant genus of the family ERICACEAE known for species with edible fruits.

|
Vaccinium macrocarpon
|
D029799 |
[A plant species of the family VACCINIUM known for the sour fruit which is sometimes used for urinary tract infections.

Vaccinium myrtillus
|
D029800 |
[A plant species of the family VACCINIUM.
] |
|
Vaccinium vitis-idaea
|
D029801 |
[A plant species of the genus VACCINIUM.

|
Vaccinology
|
D000078782 |
[Branch of medicine concerned with the development of vaccines to control disease by identifying genetic and other mechanisms and pathways that determine immune responses, and thereby provide new candidate vaccine approaches.
] |
|
Vacuolar Proton-Translocating ATPases
|
D025262 |
[Proton-translocating ATPases that are involved in acidification of a variety of intracellular compartments.
] |
|
Vacuolar Sorting Protein VPS15
|
D058571 |
[A 150 kDa protein serine-threonine kinase that is found as a regulatory subunit of the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases. The protein is believed to play an important role in the regulation of vesicular trafficking with the cell.
] |
|
Vacuoles
|
D014617 |
[Any spaces or cavities within a cell. They may function in digestion, storage, secretion, or excretion.
] |
|
Vacuum
|
D014618 |
[A space in which the pressure is far below atmospheric pressure so that the remaining gases do not affect processes being carried on in the space.
] |
|
Vacuum Curettage
|
D014619 |
[Aspiration of the contents of the uterus with a vacuum curette.
] |
|
Vacuum Extraction, Obstetrical
|
D014620 |
[Removal of the fetus from the uterus or vagina at or near the end of pregnancy with a metal traction cup that is attached to the fetus' head. Negative pressure is applied and traction is made on a chain passed through the suction tube. (From Stedman, 26th ed & Dorland, 28th ed)
