All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Disease Grade Qualifier	NCIT_C28076	[A term that refers to the cellular differentiation of a malignant cellular infiltrate. A cancer is defined through grades I-IV (or 1-4), or as well, moderately, poorly differentiated or undifferentiated.]
Pediatric Nursing	NCIT_C20890	[Nursing care that is specialized for infants, children and adolescents.]
WFDC2 Gene	NCIT_C20891	[This gene plays a putative role in epithelial host defense.]
Camp Nursing	NCIT_C20892	[Health and nursing care given to campers at a summer or children's camp by a registered nurse.]
Community Health Nursing	NCIT_C16456	[A discipline in nursing with a focus on the delivery of health care and disease prevention to residents living in a common geographic area.]
Day Times Microgram per Milliliter Times Kilogram per Milligram	NCIT_C132444	[Days times microgram per milliliter, divided by milligrams times kilograms.]
Hour Times Nanomole per Liter per Milligram per Kilogram	NCIT_C132445	[Hours times nanomoles per liter, divided by milligrams per kilograms.]
Hour Times Micromole per Liter per Milligram per Kilogram	NCIT_C132446	[Hours times micromoles per liter, divided by milligrams per kilograms.]
Eligibility Criteria Met By Subject	NCIT_C132447	[An indication that the subject has fulfilled the criteria needed to continue to the next study period.]
Indium In 111 Daclizumab	NCIT_C29230	[A radioimmunoconjugate comprised of daclizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the alpha subunit of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (IL-2RA, TAC antigen, CD25), which is labeled with the gamma-emitting isotope indium 111 (In 111; 111In), with potential radioimaging application. Upon administration, indium In 111 daclizumab targets and binds to IL-2RA and inhibits the binding of IL-2, thereby blocking IL-2-mediated activation of lymphocytes. IL-2RA is not expressed by normal resting lymphoid cells, with the exception of regulatory T-cells (Tregs), but it is expressed on a minority of Reed-Sternberg cells and, is overexpressed on T-cells rosetting around Reed-Sternberg cells in certain lymphomas. The use of gamma scintigraphy permits the immunodetection of IL-2RA expressing cells.]
Blood Donor	NCIT_C132448	[Someone from whom blood is removed for transplantation or other purpose.]
Tissue Donor	NCIT_C25168	[Someone who gives blood or tissue or an organ to be used in another person.]
Household Member	NCIT_C132449	[An individual who is considered part of the social unit comprising one or more individuals living together (all of whom need not be related) in the same dwelling, who aggregate and share their incomes.]
Member	NCIT_C25368	[One of the persons who compose a social group, especially an individual who has joined and participates in a group organization.]
MOv-gamma	NCIT_C29233	[A chimeric antigen receptor gene derived from the murine monoclonal antibody MOv18 that binds to folate-binding protein (FBP). Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) are first harvested from a cancer patient and induced to express MOv-gamma. Autologous vaccination with these activated PBL stimulates the host immune system to mount a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response against ovarian cancer cells which often overexpress FBP. (NCI04)]
MSM/Glucosamine	NCIT_C29234	[A combination preparation of glucosamine, a hexosamine sugar polymer, and methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), a derivative of dimethyl sulphoxide, with anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory activities. The mechanism of action has not yet been fully elucidated but addition of glucosamine to chondrocytes results in inhibition of proteoglycan catabolism. Glucosamine inhibits interleukin-1-induced production of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2), and inhibit aggrecanase activity, which results in preservation of proteoglycan and chondrocytes. Other studies have also shown glucosamine to reduce the generation of reactive oxygen species by macrophages, and inhibit lysosomal enzymes. MSM has been suggested to exert its analgesic effect by inhibiting pain impulses along type C nerve fibers, reducing inflammation and muscle spasms, as well as promoting blood flow, thereby promoting the healing of cartilage lesions.]
Genomic Imprinting	NCIT_C17743	[Parent-specific expression or repression of genes or chromosomes in offspring.]
ELF3 Gene	NCIT_C20899	[This gene is involved in the regulation of both transcription and epithelial cell differentiation. It also plays a role in angiogenesis.]
Murine Monoclonal Antibody (LYM-1)	NCIT_C29236
Murine Monoclonal Antibody D612	NCIT_C29237	[A murine monoclonal antibody directed against human colorectal carcinoma-associated cell-surface antigen D612. (NCI04)]
