All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Orthopedic Nursing	NCIT_C20875	[Nursing care with a special emphasis on the care of individuals with orthopaedic-related injuries, diseases, and diagnoses.]
MoAb Bombesin (DTPA)	NCIT_C29212	[A monoclonal antibody directed against the neurohormone bombesin that is conjugated to diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (DPTA), a bifunctional chelating agent that allows the antibody to be labeled with a metal species such as radioactive indium. Levels of bombesin, also known as gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), are elevated in lung and thyroid cancers, where the substance acts as an autocrine growth factor. (NCI04)]
Gastrin-Releasing Peptide	NCIT_C2272	[Gastrin-releasing peptide (27 aa, ~3 kDa) is encoded by the human GRP gene. This protein is involved in hormone signaling in both the gastrointestinal and nervous systems.]
Antigen Targeting	NCIT_C41567	[Antigen Targeting involves specific and high affinity non-covalent interaction (binding) of an antibody reagent through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity with a soluble or particulate substance (antigen) that induces an immune response. Using the keen specificity of antigen recognition by antibodies, targeting selectively localizes antibody-associated reagents to antigen sites for therapeutic or diagnostic effect.]
Subacute Nursing	NCIT_C20876	[Comprehensive inpatient nursing care to treat one or more specific active complex medical conditions or to administer one or more technically complex treatments. Subacute care is generally more intensive than traditional nursing care and less intensive than acute care.]
MoAb Bombesin (ITC-D)	NCIT_C29213	[A monoclonal antibody directed against the neurohormone bombesin that is conjugated to isothiocyanobenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (ITC-D), a bifunctional chelating agent that allows the antibody to be labeled with a metal species. Levels of the neurohormone bombesin, also known as gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), are elevated in lung and thyroid cancers, where the substance acts as an autocrine growth factor. (NCI04)]
CASP8*1 Allele	NCIT_C68810	[Human CASP81 allele is a variant form of the CASP8 gene which is located within 2q33-q34 and is approximately 54 kb in length. The wild-type allele, which encodes caspase-8 protein, is involved in apoptosis regulation. CASP81 allele exhibits a SNP (c.1207G>C) that results in a D302H coding change, which may reduce the activity of the encoded protein. This variant may reduce the incidence of breast cancer in subjects who carry this allele.]
Clinical Research Nursing	NCIT_C20877	[Professional nursing care provided in a research environment. Including management of clinical trials, direct patient care, and research assistance.]
Cover	NCIT_C68811	[Span a region or interval of distance, space or time.]
Secondary Language Spoken	NCIT_C132460	[Additional language(s) that is spoken by the subject but which is not considered the primary language.]
Flight Nursing	NCIT_C20878	[The provision of emergency or supportive nursing care to patients transported by helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.]
Monoclonal Antibody CC-83	NCIT_C29215	[A second-generation murine monoclonal antibody based on monoclonal antibody B72.3 and directed against tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG72). TAG72 is expressed in gastric, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, and ovarian carcinomas. (NCI04)]
Cesium Cs 137	NCIT_C68812	[A radioactive isotope of cesium with an atomic mass of 139 and potential application in radiotherapy. Cesium Cs 137 is prevalent due to its spontaneous production, which occurs as a result of nuclear fission of other radioactive materials, such as uranium and plutonium. This radionuclide has a relatively long half-life, 30 years, and decays by emitting beta particles. Both Cs 137 and its metastable nuclear isomer, barium-137m, emit gamma radiation of moderate energy and so are used in sterilization procedures in the food industry or in hospital environments.]
Capillary Plasma	NCIT_C132461	[Plasma that has been isolated from capillary blood.]
Trefoil Family Gene	NCIT_C20871
Monoclonal Antibody CC-92	NCIT_C29216	[A second-generation murine monoclonal antibody based on the monoclonal antibody B72.3 and directed against tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG72). TAG72 is expressed in gastric, breast, pancreatic, colorectal, and ovarian carcinomas. (NCI04)]
ProteinProphet	NCIT_C68813	[A software model that has as input the list of peptides assigned to MS/MS spectra and corresponding probabilities that those peptide assignments are correct. Different peptide identifications corresponding to the same protein are combined together to estimate the probability that their corresponding protein is present in the sample. This protein grouping information is then employed to adjust the individual peptide probabilities.]
Venous Plasma	NCIT_C132462	[Plasma that has been isolated from venous blood.]
TFF1 Gene	NCIT_C20872	[This gene is involved in maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity and regulates gastric cell proliferation.]
Prognostic Factor	NCIT_C18959	[The general personal and health characteristics that have a bearing on the course of a disease and its eventual outcome.]
