(19) LAR to Parietaria occurred in only one of 12 patients in winter, in six of 11 in summer, and in one of six patients in autumn.
(20) Although these alterations in reactivity have been proposed to be associated with inflammation, no clinical study of the LAR has shown both increased airway reactivity and evidence of pulmonary inflammation.
Lat
Definition:
(v. t.) To let; to allow.
Example Sentences:
(1) LATS was measured with the double isotope technique in IgG serum concentrates of 23 patients with Graves' disease before treatment and of 18 patients during treatment with carbimazole and triiodothyronine.

(8) latex agglutination test (LAT), two indirect hemagglutination tests (IHAT) (Carter-Wallace, USA and Ismunit, Italy), enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT).
(9) Using herpes simplex viruses deleted and restored for the latency-associated transcripts (LATs), we have quantitatively assessed the role of the transcripts in establishment and maintenance of latent infection.
(10) These results indicate that HSV-1 LAT expression is not an absolute requirement for establishment of the latent state.
(11) The cAMP-PDE activity in the thyroid significantly increased in both the LATS and TSH groups, but the cGMP-PDE activity was unchanged.
(12) Furthermore, LAT effectively inhibits transactivation of gene expression by infected-cell polypeptide 0 in transient transfection assays.
