What's the difference between houseleek and rosette?

Houseleek


Definition:

  • (n.) A succulent plant of the genus Sempervivum (S. tectorum), originally a native of subalpine Europe, but now found very generally on old walls and roofs. It is very tenacious of life under drought and heat; -- called also ayegreen.

Example Sentences:

Rosette


Definition:

  • (n.) An imitation of a rose by means of ribbon or other material, -- used as an ornament or a badge.
  • (n.) An ornament in the form of a rose or roundel, -much used in decoration.
  • (n.) A red color. See Roset.
  • (n.) A rose burner. See under Rose.
  • (n.) Any structure having a flowerlike form; especially, the group of five broad ambulacra on the upper side of the spatangoid and clypeastroid sea urchins. See Illust. of Spicule, and Sand dollar, under Sand.
  • (n.) A flowerlike color marking; as, the rosettes on the leopard.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Most of the radioactivity in spleen cells from these rats were associated with antigen-reactive cells which formed rosettes specifically with HO erythrocytes.
  • (2) Slide smears revealed the rosette-shaped pattern characteristic of malignant neuroblastoma, many of which were fitted with dendritic plasmatic processes.
  • (3) The response of Tac rosette positive cells to recombinant IL-2 was always higher than that of the Tac rosette negative or unselected cells, indicating that this rosette method specifically selects T cells expressing IL-2 receptor.
  • (4) In a second experimental series, immunological tests (Rosette-forming cells, Plaque-forming cells, serum hemagglutinin titers) were performed 7 days after intraperitoneal injection of LPS.
  • (5) The mouse serum, unlike the rabbit one, induced the inactivation of receptors in rosette forming lymphocytes both in the non-immune and immune mice on the 8th day after the antigenic stimulation.
  • (6) It contained approximately 1% HP+cells and approximately 3% of all lymphocytes forming rosettes which sheep erythrocytes (E+ cells) present before fractionation.
  • (7) The suppressor cell is radioresistant; requires 24 hr to suppress optimally; is inactivated by heating at 56 degrees C for 15 min, and is enriched in the non-T interface after SRBC rosette depletion over a discontinuous Ficoll-Hypaque gradient.
  • (8) Treatment of PBL with the antiserum alone completely inhibited the E-rosette formation.
  • (9) The increased blastogenesis occurred in rosette-depleted (B cell) populations and did not occur in rosette-enriched (T cell) preparations.
  • (10) The authors found daily variations in all rosettes in the inner retinal layers, which are of interest here.
  • (11) Total rosette-forming cells (TRFCs) and percentage of rosette-forming cell (RFC) levels were measured in patients undergoing dialysis and in recipients following renal transplantation.
  • (12) The proportion of SIg carrying cells within the population forming EA-rosettes was between 11 and 26-4%.
  • (13) Microautoradiography showed that melanin-containing cells in the trunk and head kidney and in the olfactory rosettes also accumulated high amounts of radioactivity.
  • (14) In this study, thymic rosettes (TR), which are cell-cell complexes of thymic lymphocytes and stromal cells, were isolated from human thymic tissue, and were characterized.
  • (15) Incubation of normal pig lymphocytes in serum samples collected from 10 sows immediately before, and at daily intervals after mating with a vasectomized boar significantly elevated the rosette inhibition titre (RIT) of a standard antilymphocyte serum in 6 animals on the first but not on the 2nd and 3rd day after copulation.
  • (16) Histamine in vitro also inhibited the E-rosette formation, but only in patients with allergic disorders.
  • (17) Fragments of human erythrocytes inhibited E rosette formation by intact human red cells, but did not result in a significant decrease in rosette formation by intact guinea pig erythrocytes; likewise, guinea pig fragments had no inhibitory effect on rosette formation by human erythrocytes, demonstrating that separate receptors were required for the two red cell types.
  • (18) With sheep RBC, lymphocytes from 2 of the 5 rabbits studied formed rosettes to the extent of 1.5% in the system containing glutaraldehyde.
  • (19) Taking the percentage of zymosan-complement complex rosette forming cells (ZC-RFC%) and the number of zymosan-complement Complex rosette forming cells (ZC-RFC) in the peripheral blood as indices of humoral immunity, bone marrow derived lymphocytes were detected by modified Sondra B cell assay in 24 healthy aged taking part in Taichiquan (88 style) exercise and 24 age-matched normal subjects without any physical training.
  • (20) The rosette inhibition titers (RIT) for sera from 94 women at various stages of gestation were detected with a standardized rosette inhibition test.
