What's the difference between mete and mote?

Mete


Definition:

  • (n.) Meat.
  • (v. t. & i.) To meet.

Mote


Definition:

  • (n.) A body of persons who meet for discussion, esp. about the management of affairs; as, a folkmote.
  • (n.) A place of meeting for discussion.
  • (n.) The flourish sounded on a horn by a huntsman. See Mot, n., 3, and Mort.
  • (n.) A small particle, as of floating dust; anything proverbially small; a speck.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These suggest that this response is associated to a delayed type hypersensitivity of Jones-Mote type.
  • (2) The reaction appeared to be based on tuberculin type and Jones-Mote type of reactions.
  • (3) The Jones-Mote type of DTH, even modified by cyclophosphamide pretreatment, produced a significant local inflammatory reaction which was unable to destroy tumor cells.
  • (4) I once saw a merlin above Burgh Castle spiral in a relentless tight corkscrew as it pursued a skylark that steepled until it was only a dust mote.
  • (5) Thus, basophils occurred in human tuberculin and Jones-Mote reactions and were not a distinguishing feature of Jones-Mote reactions.
  • (6) Similar treatment protocols, however, did not enhance Jones-Mote (cutaneous basophil) hypersensitivity to OVA or contact sensitivity reactions to dinitrofluorobenzene.
  • (7) Thus, hapten-specific cutaneous basophil reactions were present in guinea pigs immunized with CFA for classical delayed hypersensitivity, and in animals immunized with IFA for Jones-Mote reactions.
