RPR (rapid plasma reagin) test 631 Russell body
RPR (rapid plasma reagin) test
An agglutination test used to screen for syphilis.
Antilipoidal (nontreponemal) antibodies (reagins) develop
in a host usually within 4 to 6 weeks after infection with
Treponema pallidum. Of patients with primary syphilis,
93% develop positive RPR results.
rRNP
Ribosomal P proteins that share a 22-amino-acid sequence
at the C terminal that contains an epitope for which antirRNP
or anti-P antibodies are specific.

RS61443 (mycophenolate mofetil)
An experimental immunosuppressive drug for the treatment
of refractory, acute, cellular allograft rejection, and possibly
chronic rejection, in renal and other organ allotransplant
recipients. Derived from mycophenolic acid, RS61443
interferes with guanosine synthesis, thereby blocking both
T cell and B cell proliferation. It acts synergistically with

Mycophenolate mofetil
RS61443 (mycophenolate mofetil).
O
cyclosporin in counteracting chronic rejection and has been
reported to prevent FK506- and cyclosporin-A-induced
obliterative vasculopathy.
RSV
Abbrevation for respiratory syncytial virus.
rubella vaccine
An attenuated virus vaccine used in the measles–mumps–
rubella (MMR) combination or used alone to immunize
seronegative women of childbearing age. It is not to be used
during pregnancy.
runt disease
The disease process that results when neonatal mice of one
strain are injected with lymph nodes or splenic lymphocytes
from a different strain. Runt disease is accompanied by
weight loss, failure to thrive, diarrhea, splenomegaly, and
even death. The immune system of a neonatal animal is
immature and reactivity against donor cells is weak or absent.
Runt disease is an example of a graft-vs.-host reaction.
runting syndrome
Characterized by wasting, ruffled fur, diarrhea, lethargy, and
debilitation. This is a consequence of thymectomy in neonatal
mice that develop lymphopenia, lose lymphocytes from their
lymphoid tissues, and become immunologically incompetent.
Russell body
A sphere or globule in the endoplasmic reticula of some
plasma cells. These immunoglobulin-containing structures
are stained pink by eosin.
