Example Sentences:
(1) Weakly reactive antibodies (n = 25) were tested by PEG, Polybrene, and low ionic strength saline (LISS); 64% were strongest in PEG, 28% reacted equally in PEG as in Polybrene or LISS, 8% reacted weaker in PEG than in Polybrene or LISS.
(2) Since most alloantibodies detected only by 2SP-IAT or LISS-DAG were of doubtful clinical significance, and these techniques produced a high number of unwanted positive reactivities, we conclude that 2SP-IAT and LISS-DAG are not appropriate for the pretransfusion screening for unexpected antibodies.

(8) Adam Stanley, assistant headteacher at Liss primary school in Hampshire, said: “The prime reason [for installing solar panels] was the attraction of a clean sustainable form of energy, which sent out a very clear message that we were serious about looking after the environment.” He said the subsidy cuts have already discouraged other schools from following suit.
(9) The electrical behavior of the OHC does not disqualify it as a conveyor of auditory information to the central nervous system, even though its primary function may be that of a mechanical effector (evidence summarized by Dallos, P.
