(n.) A carpenter's or cooper's tool, formed with a thin arching blade set at right angles to the handle. It is used for chipping or slicing away the surface of wood.
Example Sentences:
(1) Because strontium markers are laid down in tooth enamel in childhood, it seems they hadn't earned but inherited this richer diet, and the fact that they were buried with the adzes suggests that they died as they had lived: privileged to the end.
(2) The IgG anti-IgE activity appeared to be directed toward the Fc portion of IgE because absorption of positive sera over IgE (ADZ) Sepharose but not over myeloma IgG Sepharose completely removed their reactivity with IgE (PS) and because sera from atopic individuals but not from normal subjects contained IgG anti-IgE activity against the protein backbone of the Fc portion of IgE synthesized from a fragment of the cloned gene of human myeloma IgE (ND) heavy chain.
(3) The men buried without adzes, who seem to have been living in the same settlements, had variable strontium values, suggesting that their food came from less fertile soil.
(4) Some of the male skeletons were buried with stone adzes – cutting and chopping tools – which were often beautifully polished and made from carefully selected stone, and so were probably also symbols of status and wealth.
(5) "It's called fuel loading," said Parker Berrington, a firefighter, clutching an adze hoe amid crackling flames and groaning, collapsing tree branches, one tiny part of a vast battlefront.
(6) Incubation of lymphoma cells with human myeloma IgE followed by immunosorbent purified fluorescein tagged goat anti-human IgE (anti-IgE PS-adsorbed over IgE ADZ) stained 25% of the cells.
(7) IgE purified from myeloma patients PS and PP (lambda-chains) blocked anti-IgE-induced histamine release but failed to block the histamine releasing activity of protein L. In contrast, IgE purified from myeloma patient ADZ (kappa-chains) blocked both anti-IgE- and protein L-induced releases, whereas human polyclonal IgG selectively blocked protein L-induced secretion.
Ax
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Axe
(v. t. & i.) To ask; to inquire or inquire of.
Example Sentences:

(2) 3H-Ax was found in the liver of all trout indicating that 3H-Cx and 3H-Zx were Ax precursors, and that salmonids probably possess carotenoid oxidative pathways unknown until now.
(3) MBC increased significantly in Ax animals treated with dexamethasone (Ax + D) and in Tx + Ax + D compared with the Tx and control groups.
(4) All samples are well detected by anti-B from AW, Aend, Ax, Am but none is detected by anti-B from ABx, Cis AB, or by an auto-anti-B.
(5) Subunit X, which is also a component of the anthranilate synthase complex, has no PABA synthase activity itself but complexes with subunit A to give an AX aggregate that can use glutamine as a substrate.
(6) The AX actin was incorporated into the cytoskeletal fraction with the same efficiency as beta- and gamma-actin.
(7) Three patients are reported on who suffered anaphylactic reactions after amoxycillin (AX) treatment and challenge but tolerated benzylpenicillin (BP) parenterally and orally.
(8) Reagent prepared from BIRMA-1 detected most examples of Ax and all other A subgroups and A variants tested.
(9) The mixture of oligosaccharides was converted to the reduced p-aminobenzoic ethyl ester (ABEE) derivative and the components separated by HPLC on an ion-exchange (AX-10) column.
(10) Temporal differentiation by man was studied for intervals from 50 to 700 msec my means of the traditional method of constant stimulus differences (AX) and combinations of AX with methods of multiplication by two and three (AB-2 and AB-3).
(11) In cell homogenates of Dictyostelium discoideum, strain AX-2, four major soluble protein kinases (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) and one membrane-associated protein kinase activity were identified.
(12) The AX labeling reponses showed large contrast effects (both proactive and retroactive) that were greatly reduced when auditory memory was interfered with.
(13) We have isolated cDNA clones-coding for rat intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (RICAM-1) from a cDNA library constructed from rat Ax cells stimulated with IL-1 beta using the mouse ICAM-1 cDNA as a hybridization probe.
(14) Patients were treated with either tangential fields alone (n = 508) or tangents with a third field to the supraclavicular (SC) or SC-axillary (AX) region (n = 1116).

(17) Acetylcholine (ACh) almost completely abolished the Iso-induced increase in m,,ax observed from postgestation day 18 to neonatal day 20; this developmental time course for the ACh effect is consistent with the finding that the number of muscarinic cholinoceptors started to increase on post-gestation day 16 and reached a peak on the day of birth.
(18) First, we developed a method to purify swine (Po), rabbit (Rb), mouse (Mo), cobra (Co), Xenopus (Xe), axolotl (Ax), and trout (Tr) C3 from plasma.
