What's the difference between cervine and jervine?
Cervine
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the deer, or to the family Cervidae.
Example Sentences:
(1) Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays the cross reactivity of bovine herpesvirus-1.1, bovine herpesvirus-1.2, caprine herpesvirus-2, cervine (red deer) herpesvirus-1 and rangiferine (reindeer) herpesvirus-1 has been examined using rabbit hyperimmune antisera and convalescent cattle and red deer field sera.

(5) In this report it is shown that although recombinant human and mouse interleukin-2 (IL-2) were capable of stimulating cervine T-cell proliferation, optimal proliferation was only achieved using recombinant bovine IL-2.
(6) Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) which react with cervine immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain, IgM and IgG were produced using conventional cell fusion technology.
(7) Satisfactory cross-reaction was obtained for bovine BGP in several species, namely ovine, cervine, caprine and human.
(8) A procedure is described for the isolation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) from hyperimmune cervine serum.
(9) A detailed analysis showed that: (1) the two bovine herpesviruses are most closely related, (2) the cervine, caprine and rangiferine viruses are more closely related to the bovine viruses than they are to each other, (3) the cervine herpesvirus is more related to the bovine herpesvirus than to the rangiferine or caprine herpesviruses and (4) the rangiferine virus is more related to the cervine virus than to the bovine and caprine viruses.
(10) It was found that within the ruminants a considerable degree of cross-reactivity does exist while there is virtually none between the cervine and murine or human systems.
(11) The highest incidence of cross-reactivity was found between ovine monoclonals and cervine leukocytes (46% cross-reactive) with 25% of bovine monoclonal antibodies cross-reacting with deer leukocytes.
(12) Using cervine T-cell blasts it was possible to assay in vitro T-cell growth factor (TCGF) production by lymphocytes isolated from deer naturally exposed to tuberculosis Mycobacterium bovis).
(13) The molecular weights and isoelectric points of the composite chains of cervine IgG and IgM are presented.
(14) Cattle and red deer sera reacted most strongly with the bovine and cervine viruses respectively.
(15) Ovine monoclonals were found to be the most useful in identifying a wide range of cervine leukocyte subpopulations.
(16) Bioassays showed that ovine anti-class I and II monoclonals detected molecules on cervine leukocytes that are functionally similar to MHC antigens.
(17) The specificity of supernatants against size-fractionated cervine Ig was further determined.
(18) The mAb OU1G, OU2G and OU3G were specific for cervine gamma-chain of IgG, whereas OU1L was specific for light chain of Ig.
(19) Basing on clinical experiments the efficiency of Cervin preparation in treatment of necks of teeth hypersensitivity has been estimated.
(20) Cattle sera reacted most strongly with the bovine virus and deer sera with the cervine virus.
Jervine
Definition:
(n.) A poisonous alkaloid resembling veratrine, and found with it in white hellebore (Veratrum album); -- called also jervina.
Example Sentences:
(1) It has been demonstrated that jervine, a steroidal alkaloid derived from plants of the genus Veratrum, exerts teratogenic effects in several animal species.
(2) High-pressure liquid chromatography was used to separate the following steroidal alkaloids: tomatidine, solanidine, solasodine, rubijervine, veratramine and jervine.
(3) One strain, Swiss N:GP(S), was retested since a Swiss Webster strain had been found previously to be jervine-resistant.
(4) Jervine, a steroidal alkaloid found as a minor constituent in the teratogenic range plant Veratrum californicum, has produced similar terata in sheep, rabbit, hamster, and chick, although the sensitivity to the alkaloid varies in the different species.
(5) Mature chondrocytes were resistant to jervine but "dedifferentiated" after 48-hour exposure to retinoic acid.
(6) Golden hamster fetuses were extremely sensitive to the teratogenic action of jervine and cyclopamine, the steroidal alkaloid tetratogens from Veratrum californicum.
(7) We conclude that jervine compromises rapidly dividing chondrogenic precursors, whereas retinoic acid has little effect prior to the expression of cartilage-specific proteins.
(8) It is worthy of noting that 1) configuration of the oxygen at the C-17 in hupehenisine 3 is possibly erroneous; 2) both songbaisine 4 (A or B) and peimisine 2 should be the same compound on the basis of comparison of their 13C NMR data (Table 3) and 1H NMR spectra; 3) configuration of the oxygen atom at C-17 in the jervine-type steroidal alkaloids can not be safely proved by their IR, MS and the chemical shifts of some protons such as the methyls without the X-ray diffraction analysis, or the NOE technique and the 13C NMR method.
(9) Prior to differentiation, exposure of limb cell cultures to jervine suppressed subsequent accumulation of cartilage proteoglycans.
(10) Our studies indicate that jervine acts specifically during an early phase of the differentiation of mesenchyme into cartilage.
(11) The aim of this study was to determine the teratogenic potential of jervine in three strains of mice and to ascertain if the response is strain dependent.
(12) Jervine and retinoic acid are both teratogenic to structures which are initially modelled in cartilage.
(13) Sprague-Dawley derived albino rats were susceptible to cyclopamine but not to jervine, and at an incidence very much lower than that of hamsters.
(14) Here we compare the effects of jervine and retinoic acid in three culture systems which represent sequential stages of the chondrocyte lineage.
(15) This strain-dependent difference was observed both in vivo and in vitro, supporting the validity of limb mesenchyme spot cultures as a model for jervine-induced teratogenicity.
