(n.) A lesson or selection, esp. of Scripture, read in divine service.
(n.) A reading; a variation in the text.
Example Sentences:
(1) The proposed mechanism of hemagglutination involves two sequential steps: (i) the action of neuraminidase to unmask galactose-containing receptors on the RBC and (ii) the multivalent binding of these receptors by many low-affinity lection sites on the bacterial surface.
(2) A antigens in endothelial cells, lateral membrane of pancreatic acinar cells and small mucouslike cells of submandibular glands from some individuals were likewise recognized by HAA and HPA but not by other blood group A-specific lections.
(3) Comparison of the Coomassie blue-stained electrophoretograms from each age-group against the corresponding autoradiograms of lection-binding proteins led us to conclude that, while the content of these proteins in the membrane achieve their mature levels at or before weaning, their terminal glycosylation (desialylation, fucosylation, N-acetylgalactosamination) is not fully established until later development.
Mammalian
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Mammalia or mammals.
Example Sentences:
(1) A strong block to the elongation of nascent RNA transcripts by RNA polymerase II occurs in the 5' part of the mammalian c-fos proto-oncogene.
(2) As a group, the three mammalian proteins resemble bovine serum conglutinin and behave as lectins with rather broad sugar specificities directed at certain non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and fucose residues, but with subtle differences in fine specificities.
(3) Transformed mammalian cells express both the usual NADP-dependent trifunctional methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase-synthetase as well as the bifunctional NAD-dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase.
(4) Immunohistochemical observation of myoepithelial cells with monoclonal antibody from human mammalian cancer suggested that these cells play an important role in the process of glandular ducts formation.
(5) The results confirm studies performed in our laboratory on cytotoxicity and on functional membrane proteins of fungal and mammalian cells [1,2], suggesting a common mechanism of toxicity by the action of hydrophobic xenobiotics on biomembranes.
(6) RNA transcribed in vitro from the early region of bacteriophage T3 or T7 was translated by cytoplasmic ribosomes which synthesized protein in cell-free systems prepared from mammalian cells and wheat germ.
(7) Three distinct G-proteins have been found in mammalian heart sarcolemma: Gi (alpha i = 40 kDa, beta = 36 kDa, and lambda less than 14 kDa), Gp (alpha p = 23 kDa, beta = 36 kDa, and lambda less than 14 kDa), and Gs (alpha s = 42 kDa).
(8) Average temperature changes observed were less than 1 degree C. The present study demonstrates that the electrically evoked response in mammalian brain can be altered by ultrasound in a non-thermal, non-cavitational mode, and that such effects are potentially reversible.
(9) The bacterial-binding activity and mammalian receptor-binding activities in each of two samples co-chromatographed on a Remazol yellow GGL-Sepharose affinity column strongly indicated that the same immunoglobulin species reacts with both antigens.
(10) We have previously shown that about 90% of total Escherichia coli lac repressor synthesized in mammalian cells is located in the cytoplasm [Hu and Davidson, Cell 48 (1987) 555-566].
(11) Morphometric analysis of pores and pore complexes shows their size, structure, and density to be similar to that of other mammalian cells.
(12) Colicin HSC10 caused DNA loss from the bacteriocin-sensitive mammalian cells, which increased with dose and time of exposure.
(13) As compared with solvent-treated control, no significant increases were observed in the number of revertant colonies in all tester strains in both systems with and without mammalian metabolic activation (S9 Mix).
(14) For application to mammalian cells, however, two serious problems require resolution: (1), correction of TPP+ binding to intracellular constituents and (2), estimation of the considerable TPP+ accumulation in mitochondria.
(15) During the transformation of mammalian cells by SV40, the cells acquire new antigenicity at the cell surface that acts as a target for cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
(16) The strong homology of mammalian L27' to yeast L29 suggests a function which has been conserved throughout evolution, and thus L27' may also be involved in peptidyl transferase activity.
(17) The possibility of mammalian mitochondria functioning in fish embryos has been studied.
(18) This result contraindicates a general permissive-requisite role for forebrain NE for the mammalian brain's plasticity during its critical periods.
(19) A gamma-radiation dose (Di) suppressing DNA synthesis initiation by 35% in primary suspension cultures of mammalian cells, is nearly the same as D0 for survival of clonogenic cells of the same lines and tissues.
(20) Accordingly, the 30-fold differences in aging rate among the mammalian species could be determined in part by peroxidation defense processes.
