(20) Individual organisms were found to adhere to the endothelium of glomerular and intertubular capillaries, and ruthenium red staining demonstrated a close interaction between the largely polysaccharide bacterial microcapsule and the sialoglycoprotein endothelial surface coat.
Tube
Definition:
(n.) A hollow cylinder, of any material, used for the conveyance of fluids, and for various other purposes; a pipe.
(n.) A telescope.
(n.) A vessel in animal bodies or plants, which conveys a fluid or other substance.
(n.) The narrow, hollow part of a gamopetalous corolla.
(n.) A priming tube, or friction primer. See under Priming, and Friction.
(n.) A small pipe forming part of the boiler, containing water and surrounded by flame or hot gases, or else surrounded by water and forming a flue for the gases to pass through.
(n.) A more or less cylindrical, and often spiral, case secreted or constructed by many annelids, crustaceans, insects, and other animals, for protection or concealment. See Illust. of Tubeworm.
(n.) One of the siphons of a bivalve mollusk.
(v. t.) To furnish with a tube; as, to tube a well.
Example Sentences:
(1) Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, volumes, and temperatures of expired gas were measured from the tracheal and esophageal tubes.
(2) These organic compounds were found to be stable on the sorbent tubes for at least seven days.
(3) Since the advance and return of sperm inside the tubes could facilitate the interaction of sperm with secretions participating in its maturation, the persistent infertility after vasectomy could be related to the contractile alteration that follows the excessive tubal distention.
(4) Average fluoroscopy time per procedure was 27.8 minutes of which 15.1 minutes were for nephrostomy tube insertion and 12.7 minutes were for calculi extraction.
(5) Cells (1 x 10(5)) were seeded in 12- x -75-mm tissue culture tubes and incubated with various doses of IL-1 beta, IL-1 alpha, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma, alone or in specific combinations, for 15 min, two, 12, 24, and 72 h. PGE concentrations in the media were measured by radio-immunoassay.
(6) This attack can take place during organogenesis, during early differentiation of neural anlagen after neural tube closure or during biochemical differentiation of the brain.

(8) At first, immunofluorescence demonstrated the presence of laminin-binding sites at the surface of germ tubes.
(9) By 3 d in the chick embryo, the first neurons detected by antibodies to Ng-CAM are located in the ventral neural tube; these precursors of motor neurons emit well-stained fibers to the periphery.
