#complement

• Additional — Added to something existing in order to complete, extend, or supplement its structural value or functionality. In a conceptual and normative sense, it represents a supporting element or an extra component that modifies, details, or consolidates an already established assembly, contract, or data system.
• Agentive — Expressing or indicating the agent of an action; a semantic or morphosyntactic category specific to propositional elements that designate the conscious and voluntary author of the state expressed by the verb. It applies to nouns, complements, or suffixes that define the entity performing the deed.
• Alexin — A historical term used in early immunology, introduced by Hans Buchner and popularized by Jules Bordet, to designate the complement system; a thermolabile protein substance present in normal blood serum capable of destroying bacteria and other foreign cells in cooperation with specific antibodies (sensitizers). In modern biochemistry, its action is studied as an integral part of the innate non-specific immune response of cell lysis.
• Antichenome — An artificial or computationally identified hypothetical nucleotide structure or reverse complementary genomic sequence, designed by exact mirroring of a target genome or core gene sequence (genome/chenome). This term is used in bioinformatics and synthetic biology for designing RNA guides, specific hybridization probes, or reverse sequential alignment algorithms.
• Anticomplementary — Destroying, inactivating, reducing, or interfering with the biological activity of the complement (a group of proteins in blood serum participating in immune response and bacterial destruction). In laboratory diagnosis and serology, the anticomplementary property of a degraded or contaminated blood sample can falsify biological test results, specifically within the complement fixation reaction.
• Last night — In the evening of the preceding day, during the evening that most recently passed relative to the moment of speaking. In the syntactic structure of the Romanian language, it functions as an adverbial modifier of time, indicating a moment in the immediate past.
• Bacteriolytic — Causing bacteriolysis; relating to the destruction, dissolution, or rupture of the bacterial cell wall and membrane under the action of lytic agents. Biochemically and clinically, bacteriolytic properties are characteristic of specific antibiotics, enzymes (such as lysozyme in tears), or antibodies associated with the immune complement system.
• Bacteriolysis — A biochemical and immune process consisting of the destruction, dissolution, or structural disintegration of the bacterial cell wall and membrane, causing their death through the leakage of intracellular content. Physiologically, bacteriolysis is triggered by the direct action of specific enzymes, bacteriophages, or the membrane attack complex activated by the complement system in the presence of antibodies.
• Bacteriolysin — A specific antibody substance (or lytic antibody) produced by an organism as an immune response to the introduction of a bacterium, having the property of causing bacteriolysis in the presence of serum complement. Biochemically, bacteriolysins are part of the humoral defense mechanisms, acting as recognition markers that direct the cellular destruction complex toward pathogens.
