(17) Several derivatives and analogs of the recently reported antiproliferative and antitumor agent trans-bis(salicylaldoximato)copper(II) (CuSAO2) have been prepared and tested for antiproliferative activity against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro.
(18) The analogy with infant sleep patterns and results of studies of brain function in narcoleptics suggest that forebrain inhibitory processes are more important in narcoleptic symptomology than is brainstem dysfunction.
(19) Such agents may permit the synthesis of additional analogs in an effort to obtain optimal affinity in the Tc-99m complexes.
(20) We found that 1) polyclonal antibodies raised against epithelial Na+ channel proteins from bovine kidney cross-react with a 135-kDa protein in ATII membrane vesicles on Western blots; 2) using the photoreactive amiloride analog, 2'-methoxy-5'-nitrobenzamil (NMBA), in combination with anti-amiloride antibodies, we found that NMBA specifically labeled the same M(r) protein; and 3) monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against anti-amiloride antibodies also recognized this same M(r) protein on Western blots.

Definition:
(v. i.) A placing or being placed in nearness or contiguity, or side by side; as, a juxtaposition of words.
Example Sentences:
(1) It appears that the transcriptional activation of the rearranged epo gene in IW32 cells has been mediated by a translocation event which has served to bring the epo gene into close juxtaposition to this transcriptionally active gene.
