(8) In contrast, sporoblasts and budding and free sporozoites in mature oocysts were labeled uniformly on the outer surfaces of their plasma membranes, indicating a uniform distribution of CS protein on these membranes.
(9) Other experiments further implicated actin in the budding process during virus maturation, as there appeared to be a specific association of actin in vitro only with nucleocapsids that have terminated RNA synthesis, which is presumably a prerequisite to budding.
(10) By the time the bud was half the diameter of the mother cell, it almost always bore a vacuole.
(11) The ICC assay demonstrated the production of infectious HIV-1 particles and budding of mature virions was observed by electron microscopy.
(12) We report now that the hormonal metabolite of vitamin D3, namely 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, stimulates chondrogenesis in cultures of stage 24 chick embryo limb bud mesenchymal cells, as evidenced by morphologic changes as well as by increased transcription of collagen type II and core protein genes.
(13) Lysis ability was acquired by growth in (or transfer to) an osmotically stabilized environment, but only under conditions which permitted budding.
(14) Intralobar pulmonary sequestration has generally been considered a congenital malformation in which an accessory lung bud develops, is enveloped by normal lung, and retains its systemic arterial supply.
(15) Consequently mother cells can switch their mating type whereas bud cells cannot.
(16) At the former site the membrane overlying the bud showed an electron opaque thickening which imparted to the mature particle an asymmetrical appearance.
(17) Recently, cDNA clones encoding several bovine CKI isoforms have been sequenced that show high sequence identity to the HRR25 gene product of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae; HRR25 is required for normal cellular growth, nuclear segregation, DNA repair, and meiosis.
(18) Budding "yeast-like organisms" that were consistent with Cryptococcus neoformans appeared in tissue specimens.
(19) This decrease in virus release appeared to be due to interference with the virus budding process due to antibody-mediated modulation of virus-induced cell surface antigens.
(20) Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) was tested for its ability to stimulate a chemotactic response in Stage 24 embryonic chick limb bud mesenchymal cells and muscle-derived fibroblasts.
Gemmation
Definition:
(n.) The formation of a new individual, either animal or vegetable, by a process of budding; an asexual method of reproduction; gemmulation; gemmiparity. See Budding.
(n.) The arrangement of buds on the stalk; also, of leaves in the bud.
Example Sentences:
(1) The number of cells gemmation is the same at suboptimum and optimum temperature but it decreases at supraoptimum one.
(2) The ascospores were found in thick-walled bags, the asci; the arthrospores, that undergo gemmation, are eliminated through canals, disseminating the disease.
(3) Vesicles were formed by gemmation of enterocyte microvilli from the lateral membrane in contraction of microvillous actin skeleton.
(4) There is a supposition that the vesicle gemmation is a natural process of the intestinal secretion to fulfil numerous important function: it promotes the penetration of enterocyte hydrolases into the parietal layer; equilibrates an increase in the enterocyte volume during absorption.
