Example Sentences:
(1) pIgG, independent of its effect on insulin binding, inhibited both basal and insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor in a dose-dependent manner with a half maximal effect at 3.3 to 7 micrograms protein.
(2) Moreover, these findings suggest that pIgG may inhibit autophosphorylation by acting on domains which are similar in the insulin and EGF receptors.
(3) The relative affinity of two mIgGs for human t-PA was found to be equal or even superior to that of pIgG.
(4) Furthermore, pIgG also reduced basal autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor.
(5) The immunoglobulin G of a polyclonal antiserum (pIgG) from a patient with insulin resistance and hypoglycemia was tested for its ability to inhibit insulin binding and to affect the autophosphorylation of partially-purified insulin receptors extracted from rat liver membranes.
(6) He seems tired of his tragic love life and can hardly bring himself to consummate an unsatisfying fling with his housing officer, Pamela Pigg.
(7) The effect of pIgG to inhibit basal autophosphorylation of insulin and EGF receptors, together with its ability to reduce autophosphorylation of insulin receptors fully occupied by insulin, imply that the effect of pIgG on receptor autophosphorylation is largely independent of its effect on ligand binding.
(8) A human polyclonal IgG (pIgG), previously characterized as anti insulin receptor antibody, able to inhibit insulin receptor kinase activity, was used to further investigate subunit homologies and differences in antigenicity and functional regulation between IGF I and insulin receptors, IGF I receptor tyrosine kinase was stimulated by a IGF I analog (aIGF I), produced by DNA recombinant technology, pIgG was able to inhibit IGF I receptor kinase activity, thus revealing antigenic homologies between the kinase domains of insulin and IGF I receptors.
