(2) The present data are in accord with the conclusions drawn from the earlier autoradiographic experiments of HEDDLE AND BODYCOTE, and show that chromatide breaks can be accounted for on the basis of the breakage-and reunion hypothesis, with the majority being simple breaks and some being incomplete exchanges between two such breaks.

(4) The latter results are consistent with early observations made by Salamone and Heddle.
(5) For this purpose, on the basis of the corresponding theory of Carrano-Heddle assuming the Poisson distribution, a theory is advanced by the authors based on geometrical distribution, describing the distribution of lesions caused by the action of tioTEF.
(6) The early observations of Salamone and Heddle were highlighted in the Gene-Tox review of this assay and led the OECD to recommend the use of 3 sampling times for this assay (between 12 and 72 hr).
(7) Our results are similar to that of Heddle obtained in C57BL mice.
Lea
Definition:
(n.) A measure of yarn; for linen, 300 yards; for cotton, 120 yards; a lay.
(n.) A set of warp threads carried by a loop of the heddle.
(n.) A meadow or sward land; a grassy field.
Example Sentences:
(1) Furthermore, 75% of cases of intestinal metaplasia in gastric mucosa and 30% of tubular adenomas, 50% of villous adenomas and 70% of tubulovillous adenomas in the colon co-expressed Lea and Leb antigens.
(2) The Lea mRNAs belong to only two related groups of commonly regulated mRNAs.
(3) Immunoreactive neurons and terminals are scattered throughout all layers of LEA.
(4) Each of the Lea gene families probably contains two active homeologous genes (alloalleles), one in each of cotton's two subgenomes.
(5) Total cellular proteins from the livers of 4-, 16- and 52-week-old hepatitis- and hepatoma-predisposed Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats were compared to those from the livers of the corresponding control rats [Long-Evans Agouti (LEA) rats] by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
(6) In adenocarcinoma, Lea was expressed most remarkably.
(7) The frequencies of A, B, O, Lea, Jsa and K found in the children with severe malaria were similar to those previously reported for healthy adults in this population.
(8) This report provides detailed data on the expression of Lea and Leb in normal and neoplastic urothelium.
(9) UEA I showed a high affinity for the Lea glycolipid which has an alpha 1-4 linked fucose but not for the glycolipids with alpha 1-3 or alpha 1-2 linked fucose.
(10) To assess the immunomodulating effect of allergen entrapped in liposomes, Swiss strain mice (made IgE responders) were injected with either free allergen or liposome-entrapped allergen (LEA) and their immune response was measured in terms of specific IgG and specific IgE levels.
(11) The patients of the Lewis blood group phenotype of Lea (23%) had higher serum CA19-9, CA-50, and sialyl SSEA-1 than those of Leb (67%) and Le(-) (10%).
(12) and with lower affinity to the Lea blood group antigen itself.
(13) I have to say I think Iran are the poorest team I've seen so far – Nigeria were dreadful in that game but you got the sense that at leas they were a half-decent team playing badly.
(14) Since the Lewis substances show great structural similarity to the ABH blood group substances we compared the vWf concentration in individuals with and without the Lea antigen on the red cell surface.
(15) In addition, a minor component having the thin-layer chromatographic mobility of a ceramide nonasaccharide, which was reactive to anti-Lea antibody, was detected.
(16) The LEA had a sensitivity of 19%, a specificity of 86.7%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 42.3% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 67.6% in the prediction of a positive amniotic fluid culture (prevalence of positive cultures = 33.9%).
(17) This report summarizes an analysis of the incidence of LEAs during 1988 among Washington residents with and without diabetes.
(18) Thin-layer chromatography immunostaining of neutral glycolipids extracted from SLC cells reveals a 43-9F-reactive glycolipid whose carbohydrate structure, as determined by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, is identical with that of an Lea-active pentaglycosylceramide described previously: Gal beta 1-3[Fuc alpha 1-4]-GlcNAc beta 1-3Gal beta 1-4Glc-Cer.
(19) Thus, in the normal colon, the absence of monosialosyl Lea (CA 19-9) in the presence of disialosyl Lea suggests that an alpha 2,6 sialyltransferase is active, which results in the masking of CA 19-9 antigen expression.
(20) The red blood cells of the group A infant of a group O central African Negro woman of the Zezuru tribe with anti-Lea and anti-JSb in her serum were found to be strongly agglutinated by a commerical antiglobulin reagent six days after birth.
