All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Information and Media	NCIT_C20865
Monoclonal Antibody 8.2	NCIT_C29202	[A mouse monoclonal antibody (MoAb) with binding specificity for the human melanoma-associated cell surface marker p97. Hybridomas of mouse myeloma cells and mouse spleen cells immunized with human melanoma cell were produced, of which one secreted MoAb 8.2. MoAb 8.2 is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that recognizes an epitope near the amino-terminal portion of p97. This agent is used for detection and binding to p97 antigen expressed on the cell surface of melanoma cells.]
Ambulatory Care Nursing	NCIT_C20866	[Nursing care provided in an ambulatory setting, such as a clinic or physician's office.]
Elementary Charge	NCIT_C68800	[A fundamental physical constant equal to the scalar value of positive electric charge carried by a single proton or equivalently, the negative charge carried by a single electron. It is used as a unit of electric charge in the system of atomic units. Elementary charge has a value of 1.602 176 487x10E-19 C in the SI system.]
Monoclonal Antibody 8.2 F(ab)	NCIT_C29203	[A monovalent Fab fragment of the mouse monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 8.2 raised against human melanoma-associated cell surface marker p97. MoAb 8.2 Fab fragments are obtained through papain digestion in the presence of cysteine. The advantage of using 8.2 Fab fragments over whole antibodies is that they have reduced immunogenicity, better penetration of tissues, rapid clearance from the body and that they do not induce precipitation.]
Cardiac/Vascular Nursing	NCIT_C20867	[Cardiac/Vascular nursing is the provision of comprehensive nursing care to individuals diagnosed with cardiac/vascular disease as well as those identified at risk for cardiac/vascular events. These services are provided in a variety of settings including acute and ambulatory care facilities, community-based facilities, and work-site and school-based programs. Cardiac/vascular nursing practice promotes achievement and maintenance of optimal cardiac/vascular wellness. The cardiac/vascular nurse is responsible for the development, coordination, and evaluation of a plan of care that uses a multi-disciplinary/case management approach. While concentrating on cardiac/vascular health, the practice considers all influences on health status and the related social and behavioral problems. The theoretical basis for this nursing practice incorporates physiological and psychosocial concepts of health as they affect cardiac/vascular wellness. (ANCC)]
Methylation Site	NCIT_C68801	[A sequence in DNA that can be recognized by a specific methylase enzyme and that contains the specific base target for methyl transfer.]
Monoclonal Antibody 9.2.27 F(ab)	NCIT_C29204	[The Fab fragment of the 9.2.27 monoclonal antibody. 9.2.27 monoclonal antibody recognizes the high-molecular-weight melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA), an antigen expressed on a majority of melanomas. Monoclonal antibody 9.2.27 FAB binds with high affinity to melanoma cells and has potential use in immunodiagnostic imaging and the immunotherapy of melanoma. Monoclonal antibody 9.2.27 FAB exhibits improved tumor localization and a shorter half-life than the complete antibody. (NCI04)]
Stepmother	NCIT_C132450	[A female who is married to a spouse with children whom are not biologically related to her.]
Step Relative	NCIT_C71395	[A family relation established through a subsequent marriage of your parent.]
Mother	NCIT_C25189	[A female parent.]
GFAP Gene	NCIT_C68802	[This gene may be involved in the regulation of astrocyte morphology and function.]
Nurse Specialist in Health and Public Policy	NCIT_C20860	[Nursing Health Policy Specialists are Registered Nurses academically prepared at the graduate level who analyze, evaluate, and propose public and institutional policy that affects health care availability, accessibility, and delivery within a given population, region, or facility.]
Monoclonal Antibody 96.5	NCIT_C29205	[A mouse monoclonal antibody (MoAb) with binding specificity for the human melanoma-associated cell surface marker p97. Hybridomas of mouse myeloma cells and mouse spleen cells immunized with human melanoma cell were produced, of which one secreted MoAb 96.5. MoAb 96.5 is a monoclonal IgG2a antibody that recognizes an epitope near the amino-terminal portion of p97. This agent is used for detection and binding to p97 antigen expressed on the cell surface of melanoma cells.]
Biological Relative, Paternal	NCIT_C132451	[Any individual related biologically to an individual's father.]
Biological Relative	NCIT_C71384	[A person related by descent rather than by marriage or law.]
Paternal Relative	NCIT_C71382	[A person related by lineage through the father's side of the family.]
Unlicensed Assistive Personnel	NCIT_C20861	[Personnel trained to assist with the direct care of patients in all health settings and in the home. Unlicensed Assistive Personnel work under the direct supervision of RNs to extend the abilities of the nurse to provide for patients' activities of daily living.]
Allied Health Profession	NCIT_C28398	[Professional health-care providers who are not physicians, especially medical assistants, technicians, and therapists but not nurses. (dictionary.com)]
GFAP wt Allele	NCIT_C68803	[Human GFAP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q21and is approximately 10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glial fibrillary acidic protein, may play a role in the modulation of both motility and cellular morphology of astrocytes. Mutations in the gene are associated with Alexander disease, which is characterized by both progressive leukoencephalopathy and loss of neuronal myelination with age.]
