Example Sentences:
(1) Five of them had a fast-moving Eco RI fragment 5.6 kb long that hybridized with zeta-specific probe but not with alpha-specific probe.

(3) In mature T cells, CD4 and CD8 molecules are each associated with the src-like protein tyrosine kinase p56 lck and signals transduced by TCR and CD4 activate tyrosine kinases that phosphorylate TCR-zeta chains and other intracellular substrates.
(4) Weaker linkage between the CF locus and the locus for the serum enzyme activity marker paraoxonase (PON) was detected, theta = 0.18, zeta = 0.76.
(5) The results of this study show that the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of C40 carotenes in H. cutirubrum proceeds as follows: isopentenyl pyrophosphate leads to trans-phytoene leads to trans-phytofluene leads to zeta-carotene leads to neurosporene leads to lycopene leads to gamma-carotene leads to beta-carotene.
(6) Finally, minimal CD3 zeta-chain tyrosine phosphorylation occurred during the induction of unresponsiveness with Ag and fixed APC alone and this also was not affected by the costimulatory activity.
(7) The effects of these urinary constituents were also measured on the zeta potential produced at the surface of CaOx crystals.
(8) We measured whole and adjusted blood viscosity at 75 and 1,500 sec-1, plasma viscosity, red blood cell aggregation by the zeta sedimentation ratio, and red blood cell deformability using the centrifugal deformability technique.
(9) Since both PGlcUA- and DPPG-liposomes exhibited similar size distribution and zeta-potential, glucuronic acid, rather than negative charge, on the liposomal surface appears to endow liposomes with a longer circulation time in the bloodstream.
(10) The T cell specific protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK), p56lck, has been implicated in the tyrosine phosphorylation of TCR-zeta.
(11) They were characterized as 3-isopropylbut-3-enoic acid and (zeta)-2-methyl-5-isopropylhexa-2,5-dienoic acid.
(12) A dual restriction enzyme digestion protocol was development using a 3' zeta-globin probe to clearly distinguish the most common alpha-thalassemia deletions that represent nearly all the alpha-thalassemia haplotypes in Southeast Asia.
(13) A decrease in the ionic strength increases the magnitude of the surface potential of membranes; the effect of ionic strength on Ca50 can be explained qualitatively from its effect on the zeta-potential of phospholipid vesicles.
(14) The surface charge or zeta potential of HeLa cells is altered to a lesser extent by 5-FU than is the transmembrane potential.
(15) The significant decreases in the free zeta-amino groups of aspirin treated crystallins as compared to the untreated ones indicate the probable sites of acetylation in the crystallins.
(16) Thus, the CD3 zeta product detected in NK cells did not originate from contaminating T cells.
(17) The T cell antigen receptor is a multiple subunit membrane protein made from six different polypeptide chains (alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta).
(18) Zeta potential of uncoated restoratives showed a positive correlation with the number of adherent S. mutans cells and S. sanguis cells.
(19) Some of these structural changes are identical to those observed in murine fetal thymocytes and correlate with the rapid alteration of zeta message seen in the thymus between days 15 and 18 of gestation.
(20) The zeta chain was shown to be synthesized by the patient's T and natural killer cells.
