A
antigen
Protein or carbohydrate substance (as a toxin or enzyme) capable of stimulating an immune response.
antigenic
Of or relating to antigens .
antineoplastic
Said of a drug intended to inhibit or prevent the maturation and proliferation of neoplasms that may become malignant, by targeting the DNA. Most chemotherapy drugs are antineoplastic.
B
Bacillus subtilus
Bacillus subtilis is a gram-positive, rod-shaped and endospore-forming aerobic bacterium. It is found in soil and rotting plant material and is non-pathogenic. B. subtilus was the first gram-positive bacterium to be sequenced. See Abstract. B. subtilus is also important for generating large amounts of industrially important enzymes as well as the antibiotic Bacitracin.
bacitracin
A toxic polypeptide antibiotic isolated from a strain of Bacillus subtilis. Bacitracin is usually used as a topical treatment for skin and eyes especially effective against gram-positive bacteria including strains of staphylococcus that are resistant to other antibiotics. Bacitracin is found in the triple antibiotic Bactine which is an antibiotic ointment combining polymyxin, neomycin, and bacitracin.
C
complementary DNA (cDNA
Complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA that has been synthesized by reverse transcription using RNA as a template.
cSrc
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and sphingomyelin in animal cells are clustered and organized as membrane microdomains closely associated with various signal transducer molecules such as cSrc. See Western blotting for determining their levels and activation state.
D
dengue virus
The Dengue virus is a mosquito-bourne pathogen that is the causitive agent of Dengue Fever (DF) and the more severe Dengue Hemmorhagic Fever (DHF).

E
efflux pumps
F
G
gram negative bacteria
Unlike gram positive bacteria, the cell wall of a gram negative bacteria consists chiefly of lipids. When gram stained, the bacterium appears pink (negative). Many species of Gram negative bacteria are pathogenic. This pathogenic capability is usually associated with certain components of their cell walls, particularly the lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) layer.
gram positive bacteria
The cell wall of a gram positive bacterium consists chiefly of peptidoglycan and lacks the outer membrane that gram negative cells have. When gram staining the bacterium the violet stain is absorbed in the cell wall and causes the bacterium to appear purple (positive).
gram staining
Procedure for staining and identifying bacteria named after the Danish bacteriologist, Hans Christian Gram who invented it in 1884. The procedure is used to determine if the bacteria are gram positive or gram negative.
