Descriptor English: Lymphocyte Activation
Descriptor Spanish: Activación de Linfocitos
Descriptor activación de linfocitos
Entry term(s) blastogénesis
estimulación linfocítica
transformación blástica
transformación linfoblástica
transformación linfocítica
Scope note: Alteración morfológica de pequeños LINFOCITOS B o LINFOCITOS T, en cultivo, que se convierten en grandes células blastoides capaces de sintetizar ADN y ARN y de dividirse mediante mitosis. Es inducida por INTERLEUCINAS, MITÓGENOS como las FITOHEMAGLUTININAS y ANTÍGENOS específicos. También puede producirse in vivo, como en el RECHAZO DEL INJERTO.

Scope note: Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
Annotation: lymphocyte transformation test goes here but do not index under specific agent inducing transformation unless particularly discussed; do not use for neoplastic transformation of lymphocytes ( = CELL TRANSFORMATION, NEOPLASTIC) or viral transformation of lymphocytes ( = CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL); blast transformation in chronic myelogenous leukemia does not go here: index BLAST CRISIS; DF: LYMPHOCYTE TRANSFORM
Allowable Qualifiers: DE drug effects
GE genetics
IM immunology
PH physiology
RE radiation effects
