	Introductory Biology Courseware- Glossary
		Habit- In biology, the characteristic form or mode of growth of an organism.
		Levels of organization- A basic concept in biology is that organization is based on a hierarchy of structural levels, with each level building on the levels below it.
		Humoral immunity- The type of immunity that fights bacteria and viruses in body fluids with antibodies that circulate in blood plasma and lymph, fluids formerly called humors.

	Biology: Human Host and Malaria CDC Malaria
		This ability to generate different forms and a diversity of polymorphism within the antigenic targets of the host's immune system help the parasites to evade malarial immunity.
		Innate factors are those specific characteristics of a host that are present from birth.
		Intravascular hemolysis does not appear to be a major contributor to malarial anemia except in the pathological state known as blackwater fever.

	The Prepuce: A Mistake of Nature?
		To reconcile the phenomenon with existing views of evolution and biology, it is suggested that the effects of one unphysiological intervention are counterbalancing those of another - ie, colonisation of the babies gastrointestinal tract and genitals in maternity units by Escherichia coli strains of non-maternal origin, to which the baby has no passive immunity.
		the colonisation of newborn babies may be too serious a matter to be left to chance in environments--the modern obstetric hospital or the neonatal intensive care unit--which from a biological point of view are unphysiological and possibly hazardous.
		Thirdly, this colonisation seems to arise from the fact that E coli--p-fimbriated uropathogenic strains thereof - bind avidly to the inside of the prepuce.

	Biology of Virus Infections: Radiation and Immunity
		The knowledge gained from studies of virus infections in these test models will be applicable to Earth-bound individuals at risk of suffering similar virus reactivations and serious, sometimes life-threatening, consequences due to immunosuppression following organ transplantation or cancer chemotherapy, and during pregnancy, old age and AIDS.
		All humans are infected for life with latent and persistent viruses, and it is well-known that suppression of the immune system allows latent viruses to reactivate and multiply, which may cause disease in the person undergoing reactivation or in contacts to whom the virus is transmitted.
		Preliminary studies suggest that combined effects of radiation and virus infection on experimental animals lead to immunosuppression and enhanced virus replication.

		laevis could easily be induced to breed in the laboratory by injecting human gonadotrophin, this anuran amphibian has become the model of choice for all sorts of biological fields ranging from early developmental biology and metamorphosis to behavior and immunity.
		Consistent expression of class I does not occur until metamorphosis; class II expression is restricted in larvae to thymic epithelium, peripheral B and accessory cells.
		Despite the drastic remodeling, a long lasting immunological memory persists through metamorphosis for B and T cell antigens.

		Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor is a potent inhibitor of neutrophil function, a mediator of mucosal immunity and an inhibitor of NFkappaB regulated inflammatory responses.
		High levels of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor were released by decidua (135.2±12.4 pg/mg; mean±s.e.m.) and chorio-decidua (325.1±26.4 pg/mg) with less by amnion (55.6±6.0 pg/mg) and placenta (9.2±1.9 pg/mg).
		Intense immunoreactivity for secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor was detected predominately in decidua parietalis cells adherent to the chorion laeve and myometrium, and also in decidua basalis.

		'There are a truly huge number of unsolved problems in biology for which the approach and tools of the statistical physicist might prove relevant,' so says Gene Stanley of Boston University.
		With the introduction of a lively section to Physica A last July called 'Biological applications of statistical physics' for which Stanley is the editor, we are beginning to see emerging solutions in problems such as HIV, biological aging, immunity, evolution, neural networks and much more.
		On initial infection, the immune system attacks HIV and almost wipes it out.
