Example Sentences:

(3) In vitro effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), Intraglobin F, on serum opsonic activity against Staphylococcus aureus was studied in 26 full term normal healthy neonates and 18 intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR) neonates by the polymorphonuclear leucocyte overlay method (requiring only a few drops of blood).
(4) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) added to agar overlays during plaque assays of simian virus 40 (SV40) in CV1 monkey cells increases the plaque size and number and enables plaques to be read several days earlier than usual.
(5) The overlaying of earlier photos onto the present fundus also makes objective diagnosis of tumors, vessels, and other pathologically significant areas possible.
(6) Neutral red concentration in the agar overlay medium affected the number of plaques.
(7) Second, a domain of Drosophila alpha spectrin that includes two EF hand calcium-binding sequences bound 45Ca in blot overlay assays.
(8) These proteins were characterized with a virus overlay protein blot assay.
(9) By using an enzyme-linked assay, M8 and M18 were shown not to bind to MFGM glycolipid, whereas M3 and M24 did, and this was confirmed by overlaying thin layer chromatograms of MFGM lipids with these antibodies.
(10) Several bands were detected in each tissues using a 32P-RII overlay method.
(11) Overlaying the image are a few brusque swipes across the canvas, a gauzy smear of thin white paint, as if something had passed between us and the painting.

(14) Climbing fiber ablation by intraperitoneal injections of 3-acetylpyridine resulted in a selective depression of cerebellar CaM-PDE expression using Western immunoblot procedures; neither calcineurin (calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase) nor other calmodulin binding proteins, detected by biotinylated calmodulin overlays, were affected.
(15) In addition, on the basis of gel overlay techniques, it appears that the hypersensitive site is also the site at which calmodulin binds to the alpha-subunit in a calcium-dependent manner.
(16) A considerable intensification of the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex staining system (ABC) was obtained by sequentially overlaying the sections to be immunostained with an avidin-rich and a biotin-rich complex.
