What's the difference between autography and biography?

Autography


Definition:

  • (n.) The science of autographs; a person's own handwriting; an autograph.
  • (n.) A process in lithography by which a writing or drawing is transferred from paper to stone.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) Escherichia coli lysogenic for lambda 9.2, but not for lambda gt11, produced a fusion protein of 180 kDa that was recognized by affinity-purified antibodies against the bovine aortic endothelial cell beta-PAI and had beta-PAI activity when analyzed by reverse fibrin autography.

  • (18) The follicular fluid samples (n = 25) were analyzed for total tissue-type PA antigen, PA enzyme activity by fibrin autography, PAI activity, PAI type 1 (PAI-1) antigen, and PAI-1 mRNA.
  • (19) The molecular analysis of plasminogen activator (by SDS-PAGE and fibrin autography) showed a single molecular form of 52,000 daltons, inhibited by an antibody against human urokinase.
  • (20) By reverse fibrin autography after SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a plasminogen activator inhibitor was detected with a molecular weight of 46,000.

Biography


Definition:

  • (n.) The written history of a person's life.
