CLINICAL MEASUREMENT - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Definition:A calculated measurement in which the number of cells in a specified sample that stain positively in the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay (i.e. in which the DNA is fragmented and therefore is labeled by the terminal transferase, a marker of apoptosis) is divided by the total number of cells in the sample, and presented as a ratio, fraction, quotient or percentage.
Synonyms:related_synonym: number of TUNEL-positivecells as percentage of total number of cells;   number of apoptotic cells as percentage of total number of cells
