Oaf


Definition:

  • (n.) Originally, an elf's child; a changeling left by fairies or goblins; hence, a deformed or foolish child; a simpleton; an idiot.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Big OAF was converted to little OAF by equilibration in 1 M NaCl or 2 M urea.
  • (2) Outside, there’s no sign of life except one bearded oaf on a chopper and a kid at the back door, holding a picture of Hot Fuss-era Brandon Flowers , praying for a brief encounter.
  • (3) The effect of interleukin-1 beta, the major component of osteoclast-activating factor (OAF), on bone formation by fetal rat osteoblast-rich cells was investigated.
  • (4) Recent studies show that osteoclast activating factor (OAF) is homologous to IL-1B.
  • (5) The resorption response to OAF also resembles that of PTH in having a steep dose response curve and being only transiently inhibited by calcitonin and partially inhibited by increasing medium phosphate concentration.
  • (6) Spleen cells treated with mitogens produce a potent bone-resorbing factor called osteoclast-activating factor (OAF).
