Cowan
Definition:
(n.) One who works as a mason without having served a regular apprenticeship.
Example Sentences:
(1) Three wk after in vivo immunization with PRP and TT, in vitro stimulation with pokeweed mitogen, Staphylococcus aureus Cowan 1 bacteria, or antigen induced anti-TT but not anti-PRP in vitro antibody secretion, although Epstein-Barr virus induced both.

(18) Cholera toxin enhanced thymidine incorporation of anti-mu antibody-preactivated but not of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I or PMA + ionomycin-preactivated B cells.
(19) NGF augmented the mitogenic effect of the T-independent B cell mitogen, Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain, and provided a progression signal to competent B cells.
(20) However, cytoplasmic phosphoinositides in the B cells from all four patients with CVI were already increased above what is observed in normal B cells before stimulation with HMW BCGF (either freshly isolated or Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I-activated B cell).
Stonemason
Definition:
Example Sentences:
