(1) Similar experimental manipulation has yielded in vitro lines established from avian B-cell lymphomas expressing elevated levels of c-myc or v-rel.
(2) We have constructed retroviral vectors derived from the genome of avian erythroblastosis virus ES4 (AEV ES4).
(3) It is the smallest avian tumor virus RNA detected to date.
(4) Globin cDNA was used as the template for the synthesis of a complementary strand (ccDNA) by avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase.
(5) The v-erb A oncogene of avian erythroblastosis virus is a mutated and virally transduced copy of a host cell gene encoding a thyroid hormone receptor.
(6) The results indicate that, regardless of the photoperiod, no clear functional relationship can be found between the avian pineal gland and thyroid function, although a transitory increase in T4 levels was seen in both pinealectomized and sham-operated birds shortly after the operations.
(7) An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detecting antibody to type A avian influenza (AI) virus.
(8) The identification of the viral oncogene v-erbA carried by an avian leukemia retrovirus has directly demonstrated the involvement of hormone receptors in neoplastic transformation.
(9) Thirty (90.9%) strains were lysed by avian phages: 28 strains at 1 x RTD and 2 at 100 x RTD.
(10) Results of tests on 4 mammalian, 19 reptilian, and 17 avian species confirmed the prediction that lack of optomotor response to monocular optokinetic stimulation in one of the two horizontal directions would correlate with afoveate retinal organization, whereas consistent optomotor responses to monocular stimulation in either horizontal direction would correlate with foveate organization.
(11) It is suggested that lung ventilation takes place in the avian embryo in three distinct stages: the major air-ways become aerated, then respiratory movements begin and lastly the tertiary bronchi are slowly aerated.
(12) This was achieved by means of postal questionnaires, coupled with the biochemical and serological examination of bacterial isolates from 91 outbreaks in poultry and from nine cases in other avian species.
(13) Representative specimens from two classes of Vertebrata Sub-Phyllum, Bufo paracnemis (amphibian) and Gallus domesticus (avian) were made anemic by phenylhydrazine treatment.
(14) Controlled contact studies demonstrated that tumorigenesis in a line of isolator-derived, barrier-sustained, specific pathogen-free chickens requires exposure to both the Marek's disease herpesvirus and an avian leukosis virus, Rous-associated virus, type 2.
(15) We have constructed avian retroviruses expressing the human c-myc oncogene.
(16) We have identified unconjugated ubiquitin as a component of avian leukosis virus (ALV).
(17) Molecular hybridization experiments to cytoplasmic RNA from similarly contact-exposed conventional Cornell S-line chickens provided further evidence for the occurrence of an interaction between Marek's disease herpesvirus and the avian leukosis virus.
(18) In vivo-derived avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV)-transformed erythroleukemia cells expressed type 2A molecules.
(19) The enzyme activity was completely neutralized by anti-REV DNA polymerase antibody but not by anti-avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase antibody.
(20) The avian blood fluke, Austrobilharzia terrigalensis (Trematoda: Schistosomatidae), is recorded in Western Australia for the first time, and is implicated as the cause of dermatitis among users of the Swan estuary in Perth.
Birdlike
Definition:
(a.) Resembling a bird.
Example Sentences:
(1) And Hitchcock was a doddle compared to Capote, with his helium voice, the birdlike mincing, the urbane spikiness.
(2) Played here by Anthony Hopkins , in facial prosthesis and fake belly, and the neither tiny nor particularly birdlike Helen Mirren, Hitch and Alma appear as an indissoluble partnership in art and life, suddenly threatened by pressures from without (no budget) but more from within, particularly by Alfred's tendency, now tiresome to the red-haired Alma, to become obsessed with his leading blondes.
(3) One image of her during the dispute has become iconic: Desai, tiny and birdlike, dressed in a sari and with a handbag dangling from her left arm, stands with her back to the camera, confronting a wall of grim faced policemen.
(4) Psycho was itself the film that so emphatically answered that question in 1960 and the story of its creation – based on Stephen Rebello's enthralling 1990 account, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho , and scripted by John McLaughlin – is at heart the story of a marriage, between a fat, ugly genius and the "tiny, birdlike woman" who was invigilator, confidante and touchstone to his talent.
