Lineage


Definition:

  • (n.) Descent in a line from a common progenitor; progeny; race; descending line of offspring or ascending line of parentage.

  • (16) LIF inhibits differentiation under several conditions which lead to endodermal and mesodermal cell lineages including skeletal and cardiac muscle.

  • (18) These data provide evidence at the clonal level for the presence of precursors of the TCR alpha beta and TCR gamma delta lineages in the human TN thymocyte pool.
  • (19) Ep primarily acts on the marrow to stimulate the growth and maturation of early cells in the erythroid lineage that are known as the burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E).
  • (20) One method is to use acutely transforming retroviruses, which can transform B-lineage lymphocytes in vitro.

Linkage


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of linking; the state of being linked; also, a system of links.
  • (n.) Manner of linking or of being linked; -- said of the union of atoms or radicals in the molecule.
  • (n.) A system of straight lines or bars, fastened together by joints, and having certain of their points fixed in a plane. It is used to describe straight lines and curves in the plane.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The presence of O-glycosidic linkages between carbohydrate and protein in the DF3 antigenic site was further supported by the presence of NaBH4-sensitive sites.
  • (2) Twelve families with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) were studied by linkage analysis using 10 polymorphic marker loci from the X-chromosome pericentromeric region.
  • (3) A complex linkage between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix is illustrated both in the cord forming Sertoli and granulosa cells, and in the adjacent mesenchymal cells.
  • (4) The assumption was also corroborated using reagents from a family in which DR3 and DQw2 were not found in the usually described linkage.
  • (5) This linkage information was used to design complementation tests to determine allelism with previously characterized complementation groups affecting sensitivity to radiation.
  • (6) Sensitivity and specificity were enhanced when we linked multiple predictors, but this linkage was seldom successful because few patients had more than one positive predictor.

  • (8) The same segments have been described to be responsible for the hexamer-hexamer linkage (Yu, M.-H. & Glazer, A.N.
  • (9) The two disorders may associate within families through genetic linkage or a failure of neurotransmitter homoeostasis.
  • (10) Isopycnic analyses of the ribonucleotide initiated fd DNA replication products demonstrated covalent linkage between the initiator RNA and newly synthesized DNA.
  • (11) The others had the structures galactosyl-galactosyl-xylosyl-4-methylumbelliferone and galactosyl-xylosyl-4-methylumbelliferone, respectively, representing the linkage region between the glycosaminoglycan chains and core protein, except that 4-methylumbelliferone replaced the amino acid.
  • (12) Absence of linkage in a large group of families shows that lamp genes are not involved in Salla disease.
