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.
  • (8) M. leprae antigens normally elicit this Jones-Mote type of DH.
  • (9) These results therefore demonstrate that whereas the Jones-Mote reaction is correlated with disease exacerbation, the tuberculin-type of DTH may be protective.
  • (10) In this instance of this month's extreme melting, Mote said there was evidence of a heat dome over Greenland: or an unusually strong ridge of warm air.
  • (11) The different behaviour of the two coffee varieties may be due to mote or less strong binding of this high-polymer carbohydrate to the cell wall.
  • (12) 42 min: Cha Bum-Kun presses OVER-AMBITIOUS BUT DECENT WILD SKELP on his Cha Du-Ri-mote Control.
  • (13) We induced sensitization for Jones-Mote reactions in 20 normal humans by intradermal injections of keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
  • (14) Delayed hypersensitivity reactions include tuberculin type, Jones Mote type reactions and contact sensitivity.
  • (15) The cutaneous basophilic hypersensitivity (Jones-Mote) is a T-cell mediated immune reaction, detectable even before the classic delayed reaction after sensitization with tiny up to large doses of proteines.
  • (16) Intracutaneous tests revealed some positive reactions to each thiol compound; there was a tendency to produce a tuberculin type reaction with indurated erythema rather than the Jones-Mote type seen in CET-induced reactions.
  • (17) In contrast to the normal individuals, who showed Jones-Mote type of hypersensitivity, no lepromatous patient could mount any 'delayed-in-time' cutaneous hypersensivivity reaction against an intradermal challenge of monomeric flagellin.
  • (18) Jones-Mote reactions are delayed, erythematous, and mildly indurated cutaneous reactions originally described in humans sensitized by skin injection of heterologous proteins.
  • (19) These experiments suggest that Jones-Mote type DTH responsiveness to SRBC remains dependent on the presence of the initially reactive lymphoid organ, provided the dose of antigen is too low to evoke the generation of DTH-reactive cells in other lymphoid organs.
  • (20) Skin test antigen requirements indicate that the Jones-Mote reaction involves an active stimulatory response rather than combination with preformed antibody, since ABA conjugates of nonimmunogenic D-polymers do not work.

Portmote


Definition:

  • (n.) In old English law, a court, or mote, held in a port town.
