DNA glycosylase (medicine) and migration inhibition test (medicine)


DNA glycosylase (medicine)


DNA glycosylase
<enzyme, molecular biology> Class of enzymes involved in DNA repair. They recognise altered bases in DNA and catalyse their removal by cleaving the glycosidic bond between the base and the deoxyribose sugar. at least 20 such enzymes occur in cells.


migration inhibition test (medicine)


migration inhibition test -->
migration-inhibitory factor test


A test which measures the presence of migration-inhibitory factor. Usually peritoneal macrophages are placed in a capillary tube in the presence or absence of supernatants from activated T-cells. If MIF is present, the migration of monocyte/macrophages is reduced.

Synonym: macrophage migration inhibition test, migration inhibition test.
