What's the difference between mimicked and mimicker?
Mimicked
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Mimic
Example Sentences:
(1) Further analysis with two other synthetic peptides (212Cys to 222Glu and Cys X 221Ile to 236Glu) indicated that the dodecapeptide Ile-Glu-Phe-Gln-Lys-Asn-Asn-Arg-Leu-Leu-Glu mimicked either the whole or a major part of the neutralization epitope.
(2) We identified four distinct clinical patterns in the 244 patients with true positive MAI infections: (a) pulmonary nodules ("tuberculomas") indistinguishable from pulmonary neoplasms (78 patients); (b) chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis with sputum repeatedly positive for MAI or granulomas on biopsy (58 patients, virtually all older white women); (c) cavitary lung disease and scattered pulmonary nodules mimicking M. tuberculosis infection (12 patients); (d) diffuse pulmonary infiltrations in immunocompromised hosts, primarily patients with AIDS (96 patients).
(3) Here we report that the increase in the probability of S-channel opening with FMRFamide is mimicked by application of 12-HPETE to cell-free membrane patches that lack ATP and GTP.
(4) Forskolin mimicked TSH effects on cAMP and thyroglobulin synthesis.
(5) While the mechanism of TGF beta action is not clear, A-II probably is acting through protein kinase C. Indeed the protein kinase C activating phorbol ester, TPA, mimicked the inhibitory effects of A-II on 3 beta HSD and P450(17 alpha).
(6) It was demonstrated that adenosine receptor activation by N6-(R-phenyl-isopropyl)-adenosine (PIA) caused a block of electrical activity and abolished the ensuing alterations in [Ca2+]i. PIA mimicked the inhibitory action of somatostatin.
(7) (2) Sequences of brightness steps of like polarity (either increments or decrements) elicit positive and negative motion-dependent response components when mimicking motion in the cell's preferred and null direction, respectively.
(8) Other nucleoside triphosphates were also able to compete with TNP-ATP for binding to beta; their order of effectiveness (ATP greater than GTP, ITP greater than CTP) mimicked the normal substrate specificity of CF1.
(9) Minihelices mimicking the amino acid acceptor and anticodon branches of yeast tRNA(Val) have been synthesized by in vitro transcription of synthetic templates.
(10) These effects are mediated via stereospecific opiate receptors, since they were antagonized by naloxone and not mimicked by the D+ enantiomer of levorphanol, dextrophan.
(11) A sonographic feature mimicking "space occupying lesions" was identified in 41 cases with focal fatty liver, which led to the recognition of four sonographic patterns: (1) Ten patients in whom the livers were characterized by irregular configurations of hyperechoic and hypoechoic areas.
(12) The effect of the cyclic AMP analogue was mimicked by glucagon (10 nM), and was seen whether cyclic AMP or glucagon was added 5 min or 12 h before the addition of vasopressin.
(13) Down-regulation of receptors was mimicked in part by other agents that elevated cyclic AMP levels in the cells such as cholera toxin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP.
(14) On the other hand, when the cells are treated with veratridine, which opens sodium channels, thereby mimicking one aspect of muscle contraction, their AChE levels are comparable to those of untreated cells.
(15) Its in vitro effects occurred only at comparatively high concentrations and were mimicked by protoporphyrin IX and haemin.
(16) 10 microM forskolin, a potent activator of adenylate cyclase, mimicked the effects of 5-HT as did a membrane-permeant cyclic AMP analogue, 8-parachlorophenylthio cyclic AMP (cpt-cAMP).
(17) The situation of high cell density could be mimicked by the addition of glutaraldehyde-fixed cells to sparsely seeded proliferating cells.
(18) With respect to the resting membrane properties La mimicked the action of Ba and of altered K concentrations, both of which are known to exert their effects mainly by changing the K permeability.
(19) Three such cases, clinically mimicking the classic (giant cell) temporal arteritis of the elderly, are described.
(20) Calcitriol stimulation of Na+ fluxes across the brush border as an alternate possibility is unlikely for the following reason: the calcium ionophore A23187, while mimicking the stimulatory action of calcitriol on calcium (Ca2+) uptake, reduced epithelial Na+ uptake.
Mimicker
Definition:
(n.) One who mimics; a mimic.
(n.) An animal which imitates something else, in form or habits.
