Mole


Definition:

Mote


Definition:

  • () of Mot
  • () of Mot
  • (pres. subj.) of Mot
  • (v.) See 1st Mot.
  • (n.) A meeting of persons for discussion; as, a wardmote in the city of London.
  • (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:

  • (2) The reaction appeared to be based on tuberculin type and Jones-Mote type of reactions.

  • (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.
