#globulin a family of proteins found in blood and milk and muscle and in plant seed
supertype: simple_protein a protein that yields only amino acids when hydrolyzed
subtype: serum_globulin__serumglobulin globulins occurring blood serum and containing most of the antibodies of the blood
subtype: C-reactive_protein__CRP a byproduct of inflammation; a globulin that is found in the blood in some cases of acute inflammation
subtype: human_gamma_globulin__humangammaglobulin__gamma_globulin__gammaglobulin a plasma protein containing the immunoglobulins that are responsible for immune responses
subtype: immunoglobulin__Ig__immune_serum_globulin__immune_gamma_globulin__immune_globulin a class of proteins produced in lymph tissue in vertebrates and that function as antibodies in the immune response
subtype: antibody any of a large variety of immunoglobulins normally present in the body or produced in response to an antigen which it neutralizes, thus producing an immune response
subtype: autoantibody an antibody acting against tissues of the organism that produces it
subtype: rheumatoid_factor autoantibody that is usually present in the serum of people with rheumatoid arthritis
subtype: precipitin an antibody that causes precipitation when it unites with its antigen
subtype: ABO_antibodies blood type antibodies
subtype: Rh_antibody rhesus factor antibody
subtype: antitoxin an antibody that can neutralize a specific toxin
subtype: antivenin__antivenene an antitoxin that counteracts the effects of venom from the bite of a snake or insect or other animal
subtype: tetanus_antitoxin__tetanusantitoxin antitoxin given for short-term immunization against tetanus in cases of possible exposure to the tetanus bacillus
subtype: agglutinin an antibody that causes agglutination of a specific antigen
subtype: isoagglutinin an antibody produced by one individual that causes agglutination of red blood cells in other individuals of the same species
subtype: heterophil_antibody__heterophile_antibody__heterophileantibody__forssmanantibody an antibody found in the blood of someone suffering from infectious mononucleosis
subtype: isoantibody__alloantibody an antibody that occurs naturally against foreign tissues from a person of the same species
subtype: monoclonal_antibody any of a class of antibodies produced in the laboratory by identical offspring of a hybridoma; very specific for a particular location in the body
subtype: opsonin an antibody in blood serum that attaches to invading microorganisms and other antigens to make them more susceptible to the action of phagocytes
subtype: immunoglobulin_A__IgA one of the most common of the five major classes of immunoglobulins; the chief antibody in the membranes of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts
subtype: immunoglobulin_D__IgD one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins; present in blood serum in small amounts
subtype: immunoglobulin_E__IgE one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins; present primarily in the skin and mucous membranes
subtype: reagin an immunoglobulin E that is formed as an antibody against allergens (such as pollen); attaches to cell membranes causing the release of histamine and other substances responsible for the local inflammation characteristic of an allergy
subtype: immunoglobulin_G__IgG one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins; the main antibody defense against bacteria
subtype: immunoglobulin_M__IgM one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins; involved in fighting blood infections and in triggering production of immunoglobulin G
subtype: tetanus_immunoglobulin__tetanusimmunoglobulin__tetanusimmuneglobulin sterile solution of globulins derived from the blood plasma of a person who has been immunized for tetanus; provides short-term immunization against tetanus in cases of possible exposure to the tetanus bacillis
subtype: myosin the commonest protein in muscle; a globulin that combines with actin to form actomyosin
