(20) The cell surface phenotype of dinitrophenol (DNP)-specific memory B cells, defined by their capacity to transfer IgG responses into syngeneic irradiated recipients, was assessed using two markers of relevance to lymphocyte migratory properties: (i) peanut agglutinin, which binds to terminal galactosyl residues expressed at high levels by several nonmigrating lymphocyte subsets and, among lymph node B cells, is highly specific for germinal center cells; and (ii) MEL-14, a monoclonal antibody specific for lymphocyte surface receptors required for migration from the blood into peripheral lymph nodes.
Sedentary
Definition:
(a.) Accustomed to sit much or long; as, a sedentary man.
(a.) Characterized by, or requiring, much sitting; as, a sedentary employment; a sedentary life.

After training, T had significantly higher red gastrocnemius muscle citrate synthase activity compared with S and PF.
(2) During recovery, while the heart rate decreased and the RR interval variance increased, there was a relative increase in LF and a relative decrease in HF in normal subjects (either sedentary or athletic).
(3) Results on resting blood pressure, serum lipids, vital capacity, flexibility, upper body strength, and vertical jump tests were comparable to values found for the sedentary population.
(4) Maybe it’s because they are skulking, sedentary creatures, tied to their post; the theatre critic isn’t going anywhere other than the stalls, and then back home to write.
