BCG therapy
BCG therapy is an intravesical immunotherapy for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in which a live weakened Mycobacterium bovis strain is instilled into the bladder after tumor resection, preventing recurrence in most patients.
BCG vaccine
BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) is the only licensed tuberculosis vaccine, a live attenuated M. bovis vaccine from 1921 that protects infants against severe TB but shows variable (0-80%) protection against adult pulmonary TB.
BCG Vaccine AJV
BCG Vaccine AJV is a WHO-prequalified (since 1994) freeze-dried tuberculosis vaccine from AJ Vaccines A/S, Copenhagen, using live attenuated M. bovis BCG Danish strain 1331, given intradermally as a two-vial set with Sauton diluent.
BCH code
A BCH code, or Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem code, is a cyclic error-correcting code over a finite field, described in 1959 and 1960 and widely used in communication systems and data storage.
BCI-Banco Credito
Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (Bci) is a Chilean universal bank founded in Santiago in 1937 by Juan Yarur Lolas and controlled by the Yarur family.
BCJR algorithm
The BCJR algorithm (Bahl–Cocke–Jelinek–Raviv) computes the probability of each bit in decoded data; it was published at IBM in 1974 and became the decoding engine of turbo codes.
Bcl-2
Bcl-2 (BCL2) is an anti-apoptotic protein of the BCL-2 family, discovered at the t(14;18) follicular lymphoma translocation; its inhibitor venetoclax is approved for CLL and AML, with MCL-1 upregulation the main resistance mechanism.
Bcl-2 family
Bcl-2 family, also BCL-2 protein family, a group of structurally related proteins with BH1-4 domains that regulate apoptosis at the mitochondria; includes anti-apoptotic BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1, effectors BAX/BAK, BH3-only proteins, and drug targets of venetoclax.
BCL10
BCL10 (B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10, aliases CARMEN, CIPER, CLAP) is a human gene at 1p22 encoding a 233-aa CARD-domain immune signaling adaptor. It forms the CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosome driving NF-κB in lymphocytes, forms helical filaments, and was discovered in 1999 as a MALT lymphoma translocation target; germline loss causes immunodeficiency 37.
BCL11A
BCL11A (EVI9, CTIP1), a zinc-finger transcriptional repressor gene on chromosome 2p16.1, silences fetal γ-globin genes and controls the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch; CRISPR editing of its erythroid enhancer underlies the approved therapy Casgevy.
BCL11B
BCL11B (CTIP2), a zinc-finger transcription factor gene at 14q32.2, governs T-cell commitment, neurodevelopment, and ILC2s; germline variants cause neurodevelopmental disorders and rearrangements mark T-ALL.
BCL2L11
BCL2L11, also called BIM, BAM, or BOD, is a human gene at 2q13 encoding a pro-apoptotic BH3-only BCL-2 family protein that activates BAX/BAK, inhibits autophagy via BECN1, and acts as a tumor suppressor.
BCL2L2
BCL2L2 (BCL-W, BCLW) is a human anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family gene on chromosome 14q11.2-q12 encoding a 193-aa survival protein; essential for mouse spermatogenesis, regulated by microRNAs, and lacking selective inhibitors.
BCL6
BCL6 (B-cell lymphoma 6, BCL6A) is a human zinc finger transcriptional repressor gene, master regulator of germinal center B cells and Tfh cells, and the most commonly involved oncogene in B-cell lymphomas such as DLBCL.
Bcp Asia
BCP Asia, or Blackstone Capital Partners Asia, is the series of Asia-focused private equity buyout funds of Blackstone, which closed its third fund at a reported $13.1 billion in 2026.
Bcp Infrastructure
BCP Infrastructure is the infrastructure private equity fund program of Bernhard Capital Partners, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana firm, whose two funds raised roughly $1 billion since 2020.
Bcrypt
Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières, based on Blowfish and presented in 1999, with a cost parameter that slows verification as hardware improves.
BCS National Championship Game

BCS theory, or the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory, is the microscopic quantum theory of superconductivity, formulated in 1957 by John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and John Schrieffer, who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics for it.
BCS–BEC crossover
The BCS–BEC crossover is the continuous evolution of a fermionic superfluid from weak-coupling Cooper pairs to a Bose–Einstein condensate of tightly bound pairs as attraction increases.
