(4) An association between diarrhoea and high level adhesion was observed in that 12 of the 34 faecal isolates and none of the 29 environmental isolates yielded greater than 20 bacteria per HEp-2 cell in the adhesion assay.
(5) The secretion kinetics of nine proteins by Hep G2 cells in culture was investigated using pulse-chase techniques and immunoisolation of proteins with monospecific antibodies.
(6) This finding appeared to be due to Hep G2 cells expressing lipase activities which led to triacylglycerol and phospholipid hydrolysis and lipid reuptake.
(7) DT diaphorase, purified to homogeneity from human Hep G2 cells, did metabolize CB 1954 to this 4-hydroxylamino product, but the rate of CB 1954 reduction and thus production of the cytotoxic product, was much lower than that of purified Walker enzyme (ratio of Kcat = 6.4).
(8) By electron microscopy, E2348 was seen to adhere to HEp-2 cells in a manner that closely resembled EPEC adhesion to intestinal mucosa; bacteria were intimately attached to projections of the apical HEp-2 cell membrane and caused localized destruction of microvilli.
(9) These examinations showed that only the freshly isolated strain of Aa was found within the HEp-2 cells.
(10) B-PEO-HEP coated grafts still showed patency after 3 days.
(11) For poliovirus types 2 and 3 the observed differences in titres were highly significant (p = 0.001) between Hep 2C and Vero cells, Hep 2C and MRC-5 and also between Vero and MRC-5 cells, with higher titres on Hep 2C cells.
(12) R325-beta TK+, a herpes simplex virus 1 mutant carrying a 500-base-pair deletion in the alpha 22 gene and the wild-type (beta) thymidine kinase (TK) gene, was previously shown to grow efficiently in HEp-2 and Vero cell lines.
(13) Methods are described that are used for the titration of antinuclear, anticentromere, and anti-Scl-70 antibodies in systemic scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis: indirect immunofluorescence with various antigenic substrates (sections of fresh-frozen rat liver and Hep-2 cell culture), counter-current immunoelectrophoresis, isolation of Scl-70 antigen.
(14) The O157:H8 strains did not produce VT. All gave localised attachment to HEp-2 cells, associated with a positive fluorescence-actin staining test, and all hybridised with the E coli attaching and effacing (eae) probe.
(15) Hep G2 cells produce surplus A alpha and gamma fibrinogen chains.
(16) Adhesion may be studied in vitro systems using HeLa or HEp-2 cells, to which EPEC adhere in a localized pattern.
(17) The serum inhibitory effect appears limited to primary cells because no difference in Ad41 replication, as assayed by accumulation of Ad41 DNA, was found in infected continuous cell lines (HEp-2, 293) cultivated p.i.
(18) Additionally, the invasiveness of C. jejuni M96, a clinical isolate, was significantly increased for HEp-2 cells preinfected with coxsackievirus B3.
(19) Hep 5 impeded binding and degradation of 125I-labelled bovine LPL by perfused rat livers.
(20) To evaluate this possibility, three human cell lines, Hep G2, Hep 3B, and HA 22T, all thought to be arrested in different stages of differentiation based on their biochemical and morphological characteristics, were used as models.
Wep
Definition:
() imp. of Weep.
Example Sentences:
(1) The WEP is resolutely neither leftwing nor rightwing but non-partisan.
(2) Two pentosan-rich fractions (water-extractable, WEP, and alkali-extractable, AEP) were isolated from a wheat milling by-product.
(3) To stop strangers hacking into it (and possibly planting malware or changing settings), connect your computer to it via an ethernet cable and enable wireless security, which will either be WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
(4) But a lot of people insist on WEPping us.” It sprung out of a small group that soon became a larger group of like-minded women, gathering in each other’s homes and in bars, and as Mayer, Toksvig and Walker run through the tale of how it came into being, their story skirts many laden tables .
(5) When both WEP and AEP were added to a commercial-type broiler diet the apparent metabolizable energy (AME), nitrogen retention, feed utilization and growth of broilers were significantly (P less than 0.001) depressed.
(6) Net protein utilization (NPU) was examined in pregnant rats fed various levels (1, 3, 6, 10 and 20%) of whole egg protein (WEP), based on their obligatory nitrogen losses.
(7) WEP is now considered weak, but you may find it easier to set up.
(8) The measured penumbra defined by the multileaf collimator is similar to that defined by the same length fixed field-size water extended polyester (WEP) collimator.
(9) Since I left, it has become ground zero of the international aid community and the car park is rammed with 4x4s, the restaurant heaving with people in agency polo shirts – MSF, WEP, UN – and dozens of evacuated climbers and trekkers camping out in orange expedition tents in the gardens.
(10) She asked if anyone fancied joining her in the bar for a chat about starting a new political group and by the time the Women of the World festival had finished on London’s Southbank, Mayer had comedian Sandi Toksvig on board as co-founder of the Women’s Equality Party (WEP).
(11) On Tuesday, the WEP will be exposed to the scrutiny of political pundits with its first policy launch.
(12) I’ve just found out that Sandi Toksvig has been at one time or another a member of the Labour [party], the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, so she is well-placed to have an all-round view!” The WEP see themselves as part of the grassroots movements for change that are swelling across the country, part of a wider phenomenon which has seen Corbyn elected Labour leader, the rise of Ukip and, north of the border, the emergence of groups such as the Women for Independence movement, which has led to hundreds of community-focused groups springing up in Scotland.
(13) The NPUs in pregnant rats fed 1, 3, 6, 10 and 20% WEP diets were 103, 99, 78, 66 and 46, respectively.
(14) The WEP’s first call, for quotas to bring a 50-50 balance to parliament, is a “quick fix measure”, she said.
(15) It might require an administrator password, but that’s okay, the password is ‘admin’.” Bypassing the encrypted WEP wireless system also proved easy.
