Sanarelli–Shwartzman reaction 635 sarcoidosis<br />

Ehrlich’s instructions concerning 606 (salvarsan), the first effective treatment<br />

for syphilis.<br />

Sanarelli–Shwartzman reaction<br />

Refer to Shwartzman reaction.<br />

sandoglobulin<br />

Refer to human immune globulin.<br />

sandwich ELISA<br />

A highly specific method in which surface-bound antibody<br />

traps a protein by binding to one of its epitopes. An enzymelinked<br />

antibody specific for a different epitope on the protein<br />

surface is employed to detect the trapped protein.<br />

sandwich immunoassay<br />

A technique in which the analyte is bound to a solid phase,<br />

and a labeled reagent is subsequently bound immunochemically<br />

to the analyte.<br />

sandwich methodology<br />

Refer to sandwich technique.<br />

sandwich technique<br />

The identification of antibody or of antibody-synthesizing<br />

cells in tissue preparations. Antigen is placed in contact<br />

with the tissue section or smear, followed by the application<br />

of antibody labeled with a fluorochrome such as fluorescein<br />

isothiocyanate (FITC) that is specific for the antigen. This<br />

yields a product consisting of antibody layered on both sides<br />

of the antigen, in the manner of a sandwich.<br />

Sanger, Ruth (1918–2001)<br />

Ruth Sanger and Robert Race developed the three-allele theory<br />

and the CDE nomenclature for the Rh blood group system.<br />

SAPK/JNK signaling pathway<br />

The stress-activated protein kinase/jun N-terminal kinase<br />

signaling pathway induced by extracellular stress factors such<br />

as osmotic shock, chemical agents, and indirect activation<br />

downstream of engagement of the T cell receptor. Leads to<br />

stimulation of c-jun, an AP-1 transcription factor constituent.<br />

saponin<br />

A glucoside used for its adjuvant properties to enhance<br />

immune reactivity to certain vaccine constituents. It was<br />

considered to slow the release of immunogen from an injection<br />

site and induce B cells capable of forming antibody at<br />

the site of antigen deposition.<br />

Open lung biopsy showing sarcoidosis.<br />

sarcoma<br />

A tumor that arises from a cell of connective tissue.<br />

sarcoidosis<br />

A systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology<br />

involving lymph nodes, lungs, eyes, and skin. A granulomatous<br />

hypersensitivity reaction resembles that of tuberculosis<br />

and fungus infections. Sarcoidosis has a higher incidence<br />

in African Americans than in Caucasians and is prominent<br />
