Biochemistry The dissolution or destruction of cells, such as blood cells or bacteria, as by the action of a specific lysin that disrupts the cell membrane.2. Medicine The gradual subsiding of the symptoms of an acute disease. [New Latin, from Latin, a loosening, from Greek lusis, from lūein, to loosen; see leu- in Indo-European roots.]lysis (ˈlaɪsɪs) n, pl -ses (-siːz) 1.

lysis[′lī·səs] (cell and molecular biology) Dissolution of a cell or tissue by the action of a lysin. (medicine) Gradual decline in the manifestations of a disease, especially an infectious disease. Also known as defervescence. Gradual fall of fever. Lysis (1) A slow and gradual fall in body temperature in febrile diseases (contrasted with crisis) and the abatement of symptoms in the course of several days. Lysis lasts from three to ten or 12 days. A number of infectious diseases (typhoid fever, scarlet fever, measles), focal inflammations of the lungs, and pleuritis terminate in lysis. (2) The dissolution or destruction of cells, including microorganisms; disruption of tissue structure under the influence of enzymes and other lytic agents. lysisA plinth or step above the cornice of the podium of some Roman temples; when present in a columnar edifice, it constitutes the stylobate proper.lysis
lysis [li´sis] 1. destruction, as of cells by a specific lysin.2. decomposition, as of a chemical compound by a specific agent. See also degradation.3. mobilization of an organ by division of restraining adhesions.4. the gradual abatement of the symptoms of a disease.ly·sis (lī'sis), 1. Destruction of red blood cells, bacteria, and other structures by a specific lysin, usually referred to by the structure destroyed (for example, hemolysis, bacteriolysis, nephrolysis); may be due to a direct toxin or an immune mechanism, such as antibody reacting with antigen on the surface of a target cell, usually by binding and activation of a series of proteins in the blood with enzymatic activity (complement system). 2. Gradual subsidence of the symptoms of an acute disease, a form of the recovery process, as distinguished from crisis. [G. dissolution or loosening] lysis (lī′sĭs)n. pl. ly·ses (-sēz) 1. Biochemistry The dissolution or destruction of cells, such as blood cells or bacteria, as by the action of a specific lysin that disrupts the cell membrane.2. Medicine The gradual subsiding of the symptoms of an acute disease.lysis Destruction of cells with release of contents. See Antibody-mediated lysis, Cytolysis, Follicle lysis, Hemolysis, NK-mediated lysis. ly·sis (lī'sis) 1.

Gradual subsidence of the symptoms of an acute disease; a form of the recovery process, as distinguished from crisis. [G. dissolution or loosening]lysis The destruction of a living cell by disruption of its membrane. Haemolysis is lysis of red blood cells. This will occur if the cells are placed in plain water.lysis the rupturing of a cell with release of its contents; for example, the bursting of a bacterial cell to release BACTERIOPHAGES, or HAEMOLYSIS - the bursting of a red blood cell (see RHESUS HAEMOLYTIC ANAEMIA).ly·sis (lī'sis) 1.
