Premiss


Definition:

  • (n.) Premise.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) A cold-sensitive mutant of CHO cells has features of "reverse transformation" at the non-premissive temperature of 33 degrees C. Cells accumulate at G1 with altered morphology and remain viable and quiescent for more than 40 d. Such cultures are synchronised by a temperature shift back to the permissive 39 degrees C.
  • (16) The physiopathological premisses underlying vagotomy and its use in the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer are examined.
  • (17) Experiments to rescue virus from the T-antigen-positive meningioma cells were performed: fusion of cells pretreated with 8-azaguanine with cells premissive for SV40 led to a low percentage (0.01-0.05%) of V-antigen-positive nuclei in heterokaryon cultures.
  • (18) The use of computed tomography in mediastinal staging of lung cancer relies on the premiss that malignant lymph nodes are larger than benign ones.
