What's the difference between footpad and scourer?

Footpad


Definition:

  • (n.) A highwayman or robber on foot.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A total of 28 cell lines were selected for Geneticin - resistance and inoculated into the footpads of syngeneic animals following co-transfection with pSV2neo and genomic DNA, or transfection with plasmid constructs containing neo and the activated Ha-ras oncogene.
  • (2) Four hundred mice were innouclated in the hind footpads with 10(8) organisms.
  • (3) The DTH responses were induced by subcutaneous injection of allogeneic epidermal cells (ECs) and were assayed by footpad swelling.
  • (4) The delayed footpad reaction to CRBC was significantly augmented by treatment with OK-432.
  • (5) In the second experiment, 2 antisera to mouse NGF were given daily into the footpad for 11 or 12 d; control animals were given normal goat serum.
  • (6) 1218) induced an increasing infection in the liver, spleen, and lungs of the THXB mice, and the infection eventually spread to the opposite footpad and to the tail skin.
  • (7) Cellularity and intensity of RNA synthesis in the popliteal lymph nodes of mice treated with different types of antigen injected subcutaneously into the hind footpads were followed.
  • (8) While the cytotoxicity suppressed in tumor-bearing rats was not restored by levamisole, delayed footpad reaction and antibody production were enhanced as compared with the normal reaction, or were restored to normal levels by levamisole, respectively.
  • (9) GO is immunogenic and stimulates the formation of large numbers of GOBC in the popliteal lymph nodes after injection with adjuvant into the footpads of mice, but 1-mg doses injected IV or IP are lethal because of its enzymatic activity, which causes hypoglycemia and methemoglobinemia.
  • (10) When immunized animals were footpad tested with MAN, highly significant delayed-type hypersensitivity (DH) responses were detected.
  • (11) The kinetics and compartmentalization of this anti-idiotypic responsiveness was studied by vaccinating rats in the hind footpads and monitoring the proliferative reactivity of the draining popliteal lymph node (PLN) and distal cervical lymph node (CLN) cells at various times.
  • (12) The plateau for growth in the footpads of intact mice occurred 4 months after inoculation, whereas in the thymectomized and thymetocomized plus antilymphocyte serum-treated groups the plateau occurred between months 11 and 12 after inoculation.
  • (13) Using 13762 carcinoma in F344 rats, and Walker carcinoma in Wistar rats, 20 X 10(6) tumor cells were injected into the footpad, and the ipsilateral popliteal lymph node examined by transmission electron microscopy.
  • (14) This knowledge was applied to the design of experiments using rats inoculated in the footpads with M. leprae.
  • (15) Cells from draining lymph nodes of mice sensitized with oxazolone 18 h previously were able to induce contact sensitivity to normal mice when administered in their footpads.
  • (16) An experimental model of inflammatory eye disease, experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), was established by injecting rats in the footpad with S-antigen in complete Freund's adjuvant.
  • (17) CRF, unlike SEA, SEA glycoproteins, or purified MEG, is incapable of eliciting delayed footpad swelling in egg-sensitized mice or of inducing granulomatous hypersensitivity, when given at amounts equivalent to or higher than MEG by protein or carbohydrate content.
  • (18) Although in vitro translation experiments with polyA+-RNA from adult tail and footpad epidermis consistently failed to reveal the 70-kDa protein among the translation products, we obtained evidence using a specific cDNA clone that, in vivo, the protein is encoded by a discrete mRNA.
  • (19) A cytotoxic response to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) was obtained by the culture of lymph node cells from mice inoculated with MCMV into both hind footpads 7 days previously.
  • (20) Compared with the conventional vaccine, this new vaccine caused less swelling in the mouse footpad test.

Scourer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, scours.
  • (n.) A rover or footpad; a prowling robber.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Dyeworkers and wool scourers (mostly European men in relatively dust free jobs) on average experienced an FEV1 251 ml lower than other workers when age, height, smoking habits, and occupational factors had been taken into account.
  • (2) The GP had told her to scrub them with a kitchen scourer.
  • (3) According to members of his family, he had been treated for obsessive compulsive disorder, and it is said that he was so anxious about cleanliness that he had been known to scrub himself with pan scourers.
