Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity — An immune response in which antibody, by coating target cells, makes them vulnerable to attack by immune cells. Antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity is commonly (and blissfully) abbreviated ADCC. * * * (ADCC), antibody dependent cellular … Medical dictionary
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity — (ADCC) is a mechanism of cell mediated immunity whereby an effector cell of the immune system actively lyses a target cell that has been bound by specific antibodies. It is one of the mechanisms through which antibodies, as part of the humoral… … Wikipedia
antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity — (= ADCC) Killing of target cells by lymphocytes or other leucocytes that carry antibody specific for the target cell, attached to their Fc receptors. The cell involved in the killing may be a passive carrier of the antibody … Dictionary of molecular biology
Cell growth — The term cell growth is used in two different ways in biology. When used in the context of reproduction cells of living cells the phrase cell growth is shorthand for the idea of growth in cell populations by means of cell reproduction. During… … Wikipedia
cell-mediated cytotoxicity — cytolysis of a target cell by effector lymphocytes, such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes or NK cells; it may be antibody dependent (see antibody dependent cell mediated c.) or independent, as in certain type IV hypersensitivity reactions (q.v.) … Medical dictionary
Cell adhesion molecule — Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface[1] involved with the binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion. These proteins are typically transmembrane receptors … Wikipedia
