  • (13) The presence of multiple copies of wild-type or mutant nit-4 genes did not generally lead to increased enzyme activity or growth rate, but instead frequently appeared to be detrimental to nit-4 function.

  • (19) Nit-picking about the detailed mechanisms of governance and accountability.
  • (20) However, transformants obtained with most of these nit-4 mutant genes possess a markedly reduced level of nitrate reductase and grow only slowly on nitrate, emphasizing the need to examine quantitatively the affects of in vitro-manipulated genes.

Rit


Definition:

  • () 3d pers. sing. pres. of Ride, contracted from rideth.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to characterize the spatial and energy distribution of bremsstrahlung radiation from beta point sources important to radioimmunotherapy (RIT).

  • (3) Incubation of normal pig lymphocytes in serum samples collected from 10 sows immediately before, and at daily intervals after mating with a vasectomized boar significantly elevated the rosette inhibition titre (RIT) of a standard antilymphocyte serum in 6 animals on the first but not on the 2nd and 3rd day after copulation.
  • (4) Measurement of the basal serum RIT may contribute to the diagnosis of pancreatitis in patients with hypocorticism but provides no information on this pathology in patients with endogenous hypercorticism.
  • (5) The rosette inhibition titers (RIT) for sera from 94 women at various stages of gestation were detected with a standardized rosette inhibition test.
  • (6) The RIT 4237 live attenuated bovine rotavirus vaccine was given orally at three dose levels to 75 breast-fed, 40 formula-fed and 24 fasting infants ages 4 to 6 months.
  • (7) This low value is in accordance with previously reported theoretical calculations for long range, low-LET isotopes and may be one of the reasons why RIT using 131I has severe limitations.
  • (8) The other determinant of the therapeutic ratio of RIT reagents--normal tissue toxicity--is best analyzed in large animals, such as dogs.
  • (9) Growth delay was measured in TK-82 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) xenografts implanted in nude mice receiving single fraction external beam irradiation (SF-XRT), multifraction external beam irradiation (MF-XRT), or radioimmunotherapy (RIT).
