(Ã¢ÂÂ¦ PROH-teen PEP-tide KOM-plex vak-SEEN) A vaccine made from a patient's tumor cells that may help the body's immune system find and kill cancer cells. This vaccine is being studied in the treatment of melanoma, kidney cancer, brain tumors, and other types of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called biological therapies. Also called gp96 HSP-peptide complex and Oncophage.

Abbreviation for general purpose interface. An equipment-interface device (usually computer equipment) with some number of digital lines, usually a multiple of eight, which may be used for input, output, or both, depending on the function. Note: The digital lines may be individually controlled, although nothing precludes using them in combination.

Proteins found on the inner surface of the plasma membrane, which bind to the guanine nucleotides, GTP and GDP. They transmit signals from outside the membrane, via trans-membrane (G-protein -coupled) receptors, to adenylate cyclase, which catalyses the formation of the second messenger, cyclic AMP, inside the cell

Abbreviation for global positioning system. A satellite-based global navigation system that consists of (a) a constellation of 24 satellites in orbit 11,000 nmi above the Earth, (b) several on-station (i.e., in-orbit) spares, and (c) a ground-based control segment. The satellites transmit signals that are used for extremely accurate three-dimensional (latitude, longitude, and elevation) global navigation (position determination), and for the dissemination of precise time. GPS-derived position determination is based on the arrival times, at an appropriate receiver, of precisely timed signals from the satellites that are above the user's radio horizon.
