(20) The results show that the presence of histones does not alter the bimodal DNA binding process.
Interlineation
Definition:
(n.) The act of interlining.
(n.) That which is interlined; a passage, word, or line inserted between lines already written or printed.
Example Sentences:
(1) However, over a range of raster widths, discrimination of texture areas with a given difference in line orientation varied not with absolute values of line length but with the ratio of line length to interline spacing.
(2) Results of the use of this technique on seven normal knees confirmed the precise anatomical details provided, with direct visualization of the femorotibial interline and particularly of the cruciate ligaments, menisci and cartilages.
(3) The interline differences in the manifestation of aggression evoked by stimulation was studied in mice of eight inbred lines, and the role of different types of dopamine (DA) receptors in its manifestation was investigated.
(4) In contrast, in selections III, IV, and V a similar interline difference was observed: the lack of IgG2a isotype in L lines only.
(5) Detected during phlebography of lower limbs during investigation of a pulmonary embolus, the aneurysm, of a sacciform shape, was located above the interline of the knee and often contained a thrombus: this site of onset facing the calf "venous pump" makes it an "experimental" emboligenic focus.

(9) The progressive interline separation produced by 6 generations of selective breeding demonstrates that responsiveness to PHA is submitted to polygenic regulation.
(10) As for SE, the use of an adjuvant (Al-BSA) increased the response of LL more than that of HL mice, so the interline difference decreased.
(11) At this time most of the interline difference in responsiveness is already expressed.
(12) This was confirmed by the fact that no interline difference could be detected in the expression of T-cell mediated immunity, as estimated by the production of protective T cells and delayed sensitivity T cells, and by the level of immunological memory.
