Bence-Jones protein
|
|
Bence-Jones protein Dimers of immunoglobulin light chains in the urine of patients with multiple myeloma
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Immunoglobulin
A serum protein involved in immunity. An antibody.
Urine
The waste fluid secreted by the kidneys, transported by the ureters, stored in the bladder, and voided through the urethra.
Myeloma
A tumour of plasma cells, generally secreting a single species of immunoglobulin.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Bloody show
The discharge - often mucus tinged with blood - that appears as labor approaches. Sometimes refers to light bleeding, other times is used to mean the mucus plug that dislodges when the cervix begins to efface and/or dilate.
Breast pump
A device to extract milk from a mother's breasts so she can feed her infant later with a bottle. Pumps range from inexpensive manual models to powerful industrial-strength machines that can pump both breasts at the same time within a few minutes.
Breech position
When the baby's bottom or feet - rather than the head - face the mother's cervix as labor nears. Three to four percent of full-term babies are positioned this way.
Breech presentation
When the baby's bottom or feet - rather than the head - face the mother's cervix as labor nears. Three to four percent of full-term babies are positioned this way.
Bence-Jones protein
Bandwidth
The ratio of the spatial frequencies at which half the maximum contrast sensitivity is obtained.
Barber pole illusion
The direction of motion of a diagonal grating pattern drifting behind a rectangular aperture depends upon the elongation of the aperture. The prevailing explanation is that the perceived direction of motion results from the integration of motion signals from grating terminators at the edges of the aperture. As a vertically elongated aperture has larger number of terminators with vertical trajectories, vertical motion prevails.
Benussi ring illusion
The addition of an intervening line can chance the perceived lightness of the two sides of a ring with uniform luminance.
Binding problem
If color, form, and motion are processed in separate areas of the brain, how/where is this information reassembled to create a single unified percept. (e.g. a purple box moving to the left).
Binocular disparity
The difference in position of two retinal images of an object that do not fall on exactly corresponding retinal positions.
