|---|---|---|
| CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count | EFO_0010105 | [A quantification of CD4-positive T-lymphocytes in blood.] |
| Rickettsia prowazekii | NCBITaxon_782 | |
| peginterferon alfa-2a | EFO_0010102 | [A covalent conjugate of recombinant interferon alfa, subtype 2a, and polyethylene glycol (PEG), used as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. The biological activity of this agent is derived from its interferon alpha-2a protein moiety. Interferons alfa bind to specific cell-surface receptors, leading to the transcription and translation of genes whose protein products mediate antiviral, antiproliferative, anticancer and immune-modulating effects. The PEG moiety lowers the clearance of interferon alpha-2a, thereby extending the duration of its therapeutic effects, but may also reduce interferon-mediated stimulation of an immune response.] |
| response to peginterferon alfa-2a | EFO_0010103 | [Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an peginterferon alfa-2a stimulus.] |
| female reproductive endometrioid cancer | EFO_0009118 | [A benign, borderline, or malignant epithelial tumor of the female reproductive system characterized by the presence of glands and/or cysts lined by neoplastic cells that resemble endometrial cells.] |
| multisite chronic pain | EFO_0010100 | [A chronic pain phenotype that is defined as the number of sites on the body at which chronic pain is experienced.] |
| laser capture microdissection | EFO_0009111 | [Laser capture microdissection is a technique used for isolating specific cells of interest from microscopic regions of tissue/cells/organisms. It allows sampling of specific cells under direct microscopic visualization. A film is placed against the heterogeneous tissue and activated by a laser beam to capture only the cells of interest. Those cells are transferred to the film to provide a visual microscopic record of what was transferred, which can be analyzed for DNA, RNA, or protein. The film upon which the cells are transferred is incorporated into the cap of a vial so that, when the transfer is done under a routine microscopic visualization, the microdissected material can immediately be put into a vial for processing. The system is integrated into a microscope so that the cells are microdissected, transferred to the cap, and then rotated into a vial by a rotating arm in a hands-off operation.

| gamma-CEHC | CHEBI_89379 | |
| decreased susceptibility to hepatitis C infection | EFO_0010101 | [Reduced likelihood of being infected by the hepatitis C virus despite exposure.] |
| alcohol exposure measurement | EFO_0009113 | [Quantification of some aspect of alcohol exposure.] |
| alcohol drinking | EFO_0004329 | [Behaviors associated with the ingesting of alcoholic beverages, including social drinking.] |
| in utero exposure measurement | EFO_0009114 | [Quantification of some aspect of the exposure of a fetus to an agent while in the womb.] |
| Enterococcus faecalis infection | EFO_0000780 | [A bacterial infection induced by Enterococcus faecalis which is the most prevalent species (along with Enterococcus faecium) cultured from humans, accounting for more than 90% of clinical isolates. Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. They have been long recognized as important human pathogens., A bacterial infection induced by Enterococcus faecalis which is the most prevalent species (along with Enterococcus faecium) cultured from humans, accounting for more than 90% of clinical isolates. Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. They have been long recognized as important human pathogens.] |
| Pectobacterium carotovorum infection | EFO_0000781 | [A bacterial infection induced by Pectobacterium carotovorum which is is a bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae. This bacterius is a ubiquitous plant pathogen with a wide host range (carrot, potato, tomato, leafy greens, squash and other cucurbits, onion, green peppers, African violets etc.), able to cause disease in almost any plant tissue it invades. It is a very economically important pathogen in terms of postharvest losses, and a common cause of decay in stored fruits and vegetables. Decay caused by E. carotovora is often simply referred to as "bacterial soft rot" (BSR) though this may also be caused by other bacteria. Most plants or plant parts can resist invasion by the bacteria, unless some type of wound is present. High humidity and temperatures around 30°C favor development of decay. Mutants can be produced which are less virulent. Virulence factors include: pectinases, cellulases, (which degrade plant cell walls), and also proteases, lipases, xylanases and nucleases (along with the normal virulence factors for pathogens – Fe acquisition, LPS integrity, multiple global regulatory systems).] |
| Hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus infection | EFO_0000782 | ["A virus infection caused by hibiscus chlorotic ringspot virus. Symptoms induced by HCRSV in naturally infected Hibiscus rosa-sinensis differ considerably; they vary depending on the tolerance of the cultivar and environmental conditions, although duration of infection, and possibly, virulence of the virus isolate also might affect symptom severity (Waterworth et al., 1976; Waterworth, 1980; Raju, 1985). In some cultivars HCRSV induces chlorotic spots in leaves, but in most it induces leaf mottling and/or chlorotic rings. Some cultivars develop no conspicuous symptoms, especially at high average ambient temperatures such as those in summer in Florida (Raju, 1985). Flowers remain symptomless. Leaves of infected Abelmoschus manihot plants are usually chlorotic, and the chlorosis is more conspicuous when HCRSV occurs in complex with other viruses (AA Brunt and RS Phillips, Horticulture Research International, Wellesbourne, UK, personal communication, 1993)."] |
| methyl cellulose | CHEBI_53448 | [A (1->4)-beta-D-glucan compound formed by methylating cellulose through exposure to NaOH/CH3Cl.] |
| presbycusis | MONDO_0043765 | [Bilateral hearing loss caused by progressive degeneration of cochlear structures and central auditory pathways, typically associated with the aging process.] |
| anatomy basic component | EFO_0000786 | |
| organism part | EFO_0000635 | [The part of organism's anatomy or substance arising from an organism from which the biomaterial was derived, excludes cells. E.g. tissue, organ, system, sperm, blood or body location (arm).] |
| obsolete_animal component | EFO_0000787 |
