A surface feature of a micro-organism or macromolecule, such as a glycoprotein, that elicits an immune response.
Industry:Biotechnology
A surface with a waxy, white coating. In most cases, this waxy covering can be rubbed off.
Industry:Biotechnology
A surface-active agent or wetting agent, such as Tween 20TM or Tween 80TM, TeepolTM, Lissapol FTM, AlconoxTM, etc. Surfactants act by lowering the surface tension and are common addenda to solutions used to surface sterilize materials prior to aseptic excision of explants.
Industry:Biotechnology
A suspension culture continuously supplied with nutrients by the inflow of fresh medium. The culture volume is normally constant.
Industry:Biotechnology
A suspension culture in which cells grow in a finite volume of liquid nutrient medium and follow a sigmoid pattern of growth.
Industry:Biotechnology
A syndrome of abnormal germ-line traits<i>,</i> including mutation, chromosome breakage, and sterility, which results from activity of transposable elements.
Industry:Biotechnology
A synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide that carries the sequence for one or more restriction endonuclease sites.
Industry:Biotechnology
A synthetic molecule that resembles a naturally occurring nucleoside, but that lacks the bond site needed to link it to an adjacent nucleotide.
Industry:Biotechnology
A synthetic or natural compound that at low concentrations elicits and controls growth responses in a manner similar to hormones.
Industry:Biotechnology
A system for maintaining a recessive lethal allele at each of two loci on the same pair of chromosomes. In a closed population with no crossing-over between the loci, only the double heterozygotes for the lethal mutations survive.
