What's the difference between interdigitate and interdigitation?
Interdigitate
Definition:
(v. t.) To interweave.
(v. i.) To interlock, as the fingers of two hands that are joined; to be interwoven; to commingle.
Example Sentences:
(1) In contrast, newly formed secondary myotubes are short cells which insert solely into the primary myotubes by a series of complex interdigitating folds along which adhering junctions occur.
(2) B cells from both sources gained immediate access to extrafollicular areas of secondary lymphoid organs rich in interdigitating cells and T cells.
(3) The terminal web was prominent and the lateral plasma membranes were highly interdigitated.
(4) These patterns did not parallel the increase in microvillar height and number and basolateral interdigitations of the surface columnar cells, the structural correlates of lactase, and sodium-potassium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase, respectively.
(5) Thus interdigitation abolishes the fluidity gradient found in a non-interdigitated bilayer.
(6) Angiogenic immature capillaries in human granulation tissue possess many cytoplasmic interdigitations between endothelial cells and pericytes (CIDEP).
(7) Some CTLs contacted infected cells via numerous interdigitating processes; others were observed thrusting finger-like protrusions deep into the target cell; some were seen with their plasma membranes lying closely opposed to that of the infected cell.
(8) Over a large compositional range, these bilayers appear to consist of phase-separated regions of interdigitated and noninterdigitated gel phases.
(9) The polypeptide segments containing these periodic arrays of leucine residues are proposed to exist in an alpha-helical conformation, and the leucine side chains extending from one alpha helix interdigitate with those displayed from a similar alpha helix of a second polypeptide, facilitating dimerization.
(10) Extensive interdigitation of cytoplasmic extensions and extended villi was present in mucinous and serous clusters which appeared to strengthen cluster cohesiveness.
(11) Ultrastructural study confirmed the diagnosis by revealing tumour cells with delicate interdigitating cytoplasmic processes and basement membrane formation resembling pericytes.
(12) Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the gold particles labeling cell surface HLA-DR molecules were seen only on the portions of duct cell membranes the interdigitated with neighboring duct cells.
(13) This finding provides morphological support for the hypothesized role of interdigitating cells in antigen presentation.
(14) In the cutaneous "lymph node equivalent," Langerhans cells are analogous to interdigitating reticulum cells of reactive lymph nodes in distribution and, probably, in function.
(15) In two cases, where there was no HLA-DR expression by PTCs, small amounts of HLA-DR in secondary lymph follicles and a decrease of HLA-DR+ T-zone macrophages and interdigitating reticulum cells were observed.
(16) The paramount feature revealed by immunohistological double marker analyses was the intimate association of myoid cells (antigen producing) with interdigitating reticulum cells (potentially antigen presenting cells), both of which were surrounded by T3+ lymphocytes in thymus medulla.
(17) After ATP addition the arrays of interdigitating microtubules in the zone of overlap become disordered and selectively depolymerize from the overlap zone polewards.
(18) Since clinic and pathogenesis tally, one should abandon the idea that Morton's metatarsalgia consists of interdigital pain (mainly in the 3rd space) and accept it as a pfeudoneuroma due mainly to pressure on the plantar digital nerve.
(19) The cell outline shows remarkable complexity by extensive infoldings and interdigitations of lateral and basal plasma membranes.
(20) Development of interdigitating microvilli (days 15-16).
