UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D006639 Histidine An essential amino acid that is required for the production of HISTAMINE. Histidine, L-isomer,L-Histidine,Histidine, L isomer,L-isomer Histidine
D000477 Alkylating Agents Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases. Alkylating Agent,Alkylator,Alkylators,Agent, Alkylating,Agents, Alkylating
D012486 Salmonella typhimurium A serotype of Salmonella enterica that is a frequent agent of Salmonella gastroenteritis in humans. It also causes PARATYPHOID FEVER. Salmonella typhimurium LT2
D014775 Virus Activation The mechanism by which latent viruses, such as genetically transmitted tumor viruses (PROVIRUSES) or PROPHAGES of lysogenic bacteria, are induced to replicate and then released as infectious viruses. It may be effected by various endogenous and exogenous stimuli, including B-cell LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES, glucocorticoid hormones, halogenated pyrimidines, IONIZING RADIATION, ultraviolet light, and superinfecting viruses. Prophage Excision,Prophage Induction,Virus Induction,Viral Activation,Activation, Viral,Activation, Virus,Activations, Viral,Activations, Virus,Excision, Prophage,Excisions, Prophage,Induction, Prophage,Induction, Virus,Inductions, Prophage,Inductions, Virus,Prophage Excisions,Prophage Inductions,Viral Activations,Virus Activations,Virus Inductions
