  • (a.) Allied; akin.
  • (n.) A relative whose relationship can be traced exclusively through males.

Example Sentences:

Cognate


Definition:

  • (a.) Allied by blood; kindred by birth; specifically (Law), related on the mother's side.
  • (a.) Of the same or a similar nature; of the same family; proceeding from the same stock or root; allied; kindred; as, a cognate language.
  • (n.) One who is related to another on the female side.
  • (n.) One of a number of things allied in origin or nature; as, certain letters are cognates.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) Cognate sites in genomes that diverged approximately 100 million years ago can be detected by PCR assays based on primer pairs from unique sequences.
  • (4) Cognate heat shock proteins might be involved in this renaturation process.
  • (5) LEW rats immunized with each of the three DA MHC chains produced alloantibodies to these chains, suggesting that indirect allorecognition did occur, because of the requirement for cognate recognition of B cells by T helper cells.
  • (6) Microcultures of helper T (Th) cells and a few appropriately primed murine B cells can be used to detect cognate T-B interactions which lead to clonal production of IgM, IgG1, and IgE.
  • (7) We have investigated the structural relationship of heat-inducible and cognate members of the human hsp70 gene family.
  • (8) If protein mixtures are subjected to affinity elution the cognate pair [tRNAPhe-phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase] is eluted first, followed by noncognate pairs.
  • (9) These results suggest that cognate T-B cell interactions may be important in the development of IgE immune responses in the normal host.
  • (10) Ribosomes programmed by different synonymous codons also differ in discriminating among near-cognate aminoacylated tRNAs.

  • (12) This line induces proliferation of and Ig secretion by I-Ak expressing but not H-2d resting and activated B cells as a result of cognate interactions.
  • (13) The protein has been designated as a stress cognate protein based on previous studies and data presented herein that this protein cross-reacted with a monoclonal antibody originally raised against the Drosophila 70 kilodalton heat shock protein.
  • (14) By radioactive in situ hybridization (ISH) using a fragment from the murine Pax-1 paired box that is almost identical to the respective sequences from the cognate human gene HuP48 and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a complete mouse Pax-1 cDNA, we have assigned the human homologue of murine Pax-1, the PAX1 locus, to chromosome 20p.
