(17) Of the protein that did enter the gel, the higher MW species elicited banding patterns similar to patterns observed under reducing conditions, whereas lower MW IgE binding bands were lost.

Elucidated
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Elucidate
Example Sentences:

(3) Its pathogenesis, still incompletely elucidated, involves the precipitation of immune complexes in the walls of the all vessels.
(4) The data shows a dissociation between ferritin synthesis, cellular accumulation and secretion for which the mechanisms have still to be elucidated.
(5) An attempt was made to elucidate possible participation of low molecular weight nuclear RNA's (LMWN RNA's) in the transcription process.
(6) Although lipopolysaccharides seem to play a significant role in the final assembly of the trimeric porins, the details of the targeting process still remain to be elucidated.

(9) The relative importance of each of these growth factors in the in vivo situation will have to be elucidated by future studies using specific receptor antagonists or neutralizing antibodies.
(10) Although numerous studies have documented the effects of the renal nerves on kidney function, the mechanisms involved in the diuresis have yet to be elucidated.
(11) While the precise function of the MIRP is not known, the availability of this protein in pure and biologically relevant quantities will allow further studies to elucidate its pathobiologic function.
(12) To elucidate the role of arterial baroreceptors in the acute regulation of arterial pressure in the conscious animal, arterial pressure was lowered and raised in intact, conscious dogs, and in dogs after bilateral section of both carotid sinus and aortic nerves (total arterial baroreceptor denervation, TABD).
(13) It appears that irrespective of the elucidation of the nature of the putative aetiological factor (presumed to be viral) in MS, the arrest and reversal of T cell-related events within the CNS in this devastating condition represent feasible goals and should remain a major target for some time to come.
(14) Interaction between aromatic diamidines (pentamidine, propamidine, and stilbamidine) and nucleic acids were studied to elucidate the mechanism underlying renal toxicity included by pentamidine in patients.
(15) Experiments elucidating the mechanism behind this effect are described.
