(18) With respect to the mechanism of the delayed invasion, it was suggested that the IFN-gamma might inhibit the adhesion of the cells to extracellular matrices (ECM) and the subsequent locomotion.
(19) Our results suggest that NCAM, in the presence of other AM, may have a supportive role in adhesion of leukaemic targets to LAK effectors.
(20) P-selectin (CD62) is a rapidly inducible cell surface adhesion molecule that is expressed on platelets and endothelial cells and mediates their interaction with leukocytes.
Segregation
Definition:
(n.) The act of segregating, or the state of being segregated; separation from others; a parting.
(n.) Separation from a mass, and gathering about centers or into cavities at hand through cohesive attraction or the crystallizing process.
Example Sentences:
(1) However, the average age at onset of lymphoma varied considerably among the different AKXD strains, suggesting that they have segregated several loci that affect lymphoma susceptibility.
(2) Both types of oral cleft, cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip with or without CP (CLP), segregate in these families together with lower lip pits or fistulae in an autosomal dominant mode with high penetrance estimated to be K = .89 and .99 by different methods.

(5) Recombination between markers was observed in matings between phage beta and the heteroimmune corynebacteriophages gamma and L. In such matings between heteroimmune phages the c markers of phages beta and gamma failed to segregate from the imm markers which determine the specificity of lysogenic immunity in these phages.
(6) For analytical purposes, irradiated dogs were segregated into groups according to their clinical status: clinically normal, hypocellular, or with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia.
(7) Interestingly, actinomycin D treatment dissociated centromeres from localization within the segregated nucleolus.
(8) In contrast, hybrids segregating human chromosomes contain both human and murine histone mRNAs, yet synthesize only mouse histone proteins.
(9) Models incorporating linear spatial-frequency- and orientation-selective channels explain many aspects of visual texture segregation.
(10) On the basis of segregating phenotypes, the genetic potentials of these compatible nocardiae were ascertained as follows: the formation of a diploid with subsequent segregation of parental or haploid recombinant genomes or both; persistence of the diploid through many generations; continuing reassortment of genetic information by multiple matings between parental or recombinant organisms; and, very probably, second-round recombinations within the diploid.
