Exanimation

A profound state of unconsciousness associated with depressed cerebral activity from which the individual cannot be aroused. Coma generally occurs when there is dysfunction or injury involving both cerebral hemispheres or the brain stem RETICULAR FORMATION.

E4 Protein

Proteins transcribed from the E4 region of adenovirus. The E4 19K protein transactivates transcription of the adenovirus E2F protein and complexes with it.

E3 Protein

Proteins transcribed from the E3 region of adenovirus but not essential for viral replication. The E3 19K protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells.

E2 Protein

Proteins transcribed from the E2 region of adenovirus. Several of these are required for viral DNA replication.

E1B Protein

Proteins transcribed from the E1B region of adenovirus which are involved in regulation of the levels of early and late gene expression.

E1A Protein

Proteins transcribed from the E1A region of adenovirus which are involved in positive regulation of transcription of the early genes.

E Selectin

Cell adhesion molecule and CD antigen that mediates neutrophil, monocyte, and memory T-cell adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelial cells. E-selectin recognizes sialylated carbohydrate groups related to the Lewis X or Lewis A family.

E coli Vaccines

Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent or treat both enterotoxigenic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infections.

Early (Medicine) Modern History
