(a.) Of or related to protein; albuminous; proteid.
Example Sentences:
(1) I evaluated use of the fluorescence polarization technique to measure neocarzinostatin, a proteinaceous antitumor antibiotic, and its antibody, in serum.
(2) Bacterial (exogeneous) superantigens have been defined as bifunctional proteinaceous molecules.
(3) Using chick synaptic membranes, proteinaceous acceptors were characterized for dendrotoxin, a polypeptide from Dendroaspis angusticeps with convulsant activity due to its facilitation of transmitter release, resulting from inhibition of A-current K+ channels in brain.
(4) The coding region for a secreted proteinaceous inhibitor of the human alpha-amylase (tendamistat; HOE 467) was identified by using a synthetic oligonucleotide probe.
(5) The results suggested that the latter processes were dependent upon a continuing supply of proteinaceous material, of which there was only a small store within the cell.
(6) Associated features were severe blunt or penetrating injury, total retinal detachment, surbretinal proteinaceous exudate, and concomitant presence of preretinal fibrocellular or fibrovascular proliferations.
(7) These results indicate that the candidacidal activity of gamma interferon-activated PMPs correlates well with enhanced acidification of their phagolysosomes and suggest that the candidacidal activity of activated PMPs is independent from reactive oxygen molecules and is mediated by proteinaceous substance(s) generated only in a strong acidic milieu of phagolysosomes by activation.
(8) This activity, called nuclear import factor-1, or NIF-1, is ammonium-sulfate-precipitable, protease-sensitive, and heat-labile; it is therefore at least partly proteinaceous.
(9) Vascular changes included perivascular deposits of proteinaceous material presumably from leakage of serum proteins, variable electron lucency of endothelial cell cytoplasm, an apparent increase in pinocytotic vesicles, rare platelet thrombosis of capillaries, and rare intravascular blebs of luminal plasma membrane.
(10) The P component is a protein believed to be of serum origin commonly found in the highly ordered proteinaceous tissue deposits called amyloid.
(11) It was found that AP4A binds to the residual proteinaceous structure of nuclei which was resistant to the extraction with 2 M NaCl.
(12) The epithelial surface is covered with adherent masses composed of desquamated and destroyed epithelial cells and leucocytes impregnated with proteinaceous fluid and penetrated by pseudomycelium.
(13) The array was entirely proteinaceous, consisting of a 150,000-dalton polypeptide which had a high affinity for Mg2+.
(14) The deposits were also located within the lumina of the vasa nervorum, some of which were undergoing disintegration and rupture with release of the proteinaceous material into the endoneurium.
(15) Rodlike inclusions are probably proteinaceous; they likely originate within the phagosomes and represent the actual yolk material.
(16) Altered LS function and interaction of some proteins with THP were related to different physicochemical properties of the proteins and independently contributed to the formation of proteinaceous casts in the kidney.
(17) Peritoneal fluid from women with or without endometriosis contain growth factor(s) that are proteinaceous in nature and capable of stimulating the proliferation of endometrial-like cells and fibroblasts.
(18) In some mammalian species, an electron-dense proteinaceous material accumulates between the IAM and the nuclear envelope, collectively comprising the "perforatorium."
(19) Intranuclear proteinaceous crystals appear in differentiating midgut cells of Gyrinus marinus and Tenebrio molitor.
(20) The factor, which is in the cytoplasm, was partially purified and proteinaceous.
Spongin
Definition:
(n.) The chemical basis of sponge tissue, a nitrogenous, hornlike substance which on decomposition with sulphuric acid yields leucin and glycocoll.
Example Sentences:
(1) In situ hybridization using EmC4 cDNA and electron microscopy suggested that the cells expressing these genes were secreting spongin, a non-fibrillar, surface collagen of these sponges.
(2) Calcareous particles present in Pacific waters at depths of 50 to 3500 meters were collected by filtering seawater through spongin matrix.
(3) Spherulous cells are large and tightly packed in the outer layer of the ectosome and in the meshwork of the spongin fibres of the central axis.
