| activation of protein kinase activity |
Any process that initiates the activity of an inactive protein kinase. |
| antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen |
The process in which an antigen-presenting cell expresses peptide antigen in association with an MHC protein complex on its cell surface, including proteolysis and transport steps for the peptide antigen both prior to and following assembly with the MHC protein complex. The peptide antigen is typically, but not always, processed from an endogenous or exogenous protein. |
| cadmium ion transmembrane transport |
A process in which a cadmium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| cellular cadmium ion homeostasis |
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of cadmium ions at the level of a cell. |
| cellular iron ion homeostasis |
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of iron ions at the level of a cell. |
| defense response to bacterium |
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism. |
| defense response to Gram-negative bacterium |
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a Gram-negative bacterium that act to protect the cell or organism. |
| defense response to protozoan |
Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a protozoan that act to protect the cell or organism. |
| establishment of localization in cell |
Any process, occuring in a cell, that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
| inflammatory response |
The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages. |
| iron ion homeostasis |
Any process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of iron ions within an organism or cell. |
| iron ion transport |
The directed movement of iron (Fe) ions into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| L-arginine transmembrane transport |
The directed movement of L-arginine across a membrane. |
| macrophage activation |
A change in morphology and behavior of a macrophage resulting from exposure to a cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or soluble factor. |
| manganese ion transport |
The directed movement of manganese (Mn) ions into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| metal ion transport |
The directed movement of metal ions, any metal ion with an electric charge, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| MHC class II biosynthetic process |
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of major histocompatibility protein class II. |
| mRNA stabilization |
Prevention of degradation of mRNA molecules. In the absence of compensating changes in other processes, the slowing of mRNA degradation can result in an overall increase in the population of active mRNA molecules. |
| multicellular organismal iron ion homeostasis |
Any process involved in the maintenance of the distribution of iron stores within tissues and organs of a multicellular organism. |
| negative regulation of cytokine production |
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the rate of production of a cytokine. |
| nitrite transport |
The directed movement of nitrite into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. |
| phagocytosis |
A vesicle-mediated transport process that results in the engulfment of external particulate material by phagocytes and their delivery to the lysosome. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles. |
| positive regulation of cytokine production |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of production of a cytokine. |
| positive regulation of dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. |
| positive regulation of gene expression |
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA). |
| positive regulation of interferon-gamma production |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of interferon-gamma production. Interferon-gamma is also known as type II interferon. |
| positive regulation of phagocytosis |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis. |
| positive regulation of T-helper 1 type immune response |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a T-helper 1 type immune response. |
| positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II |
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter. |
| respiratory burst |
A phase of elevated metabolic activity, during which oxygen consumption increases; this leads to the production, by an NADH dependent system, of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals. |
| response to bacterium |
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a bacterium. |
| response to interferon-gamma |
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an interferon-gamma stimulus. Interferon-gamma is also known as type II interferon. |
| response to lipopolysaccharide |
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a lipopolysaccharide stimulus; lipopolysaccharide is a major component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria. |
| T cell proliferation involved in immune response |
The expansion of a T cell population by cell division as part of an immune response. |
| vacuolar acidification |
Any process that reduces the pH of the vacuole, measured by the concentration of the hydrogen ion. |
| wound healing |
The series of events that restore integrity to a damaged tissue, following an injury. |
