What's the difference between restringent and styptic?
Restringent
Definition:
(a.) Restringing; astringent; styptic.
(n.) A restringent medicine.
Example Sentences:
(1) That the same EBV RNA sequences are present in the polyadenylated and polyribosomal fractions of two independently derived, restringently infected cell lines suggests that these RNAs may specify functions related to maintenance of the transformed state.
(2) That only some RNA species are polyadenylated in restringent and abortive infection suggests that polyadenylation or whatever determines polyadenylation may play a role in the restricted expression of the EVB genome.
(3) Previous data indicated that viral RNA species encoded by 5% of the viral DNA are adenylated and identified in the polyribosomes of restringently infected cells.
(4) The second approach is to identify and map the DNA encoding polyadenylated viral RNA in cultures of restringently infected cells which contain the EBNA antigen and show no evidence of abortive or productive infection.
(5) The complexity and abundance of Epstein-Barr (EBV)-specific RNA in cell cultures restringently, abortively, and productively infected with EBV has been analyed by hybridization of the infected cell RNA with purified viral DNA.
(6) (ii) Restringently infected Namalwa and Raji cultures, which contain only intranuclear antigen, EBNA, and enhanced capacity for growth in vitro, contain EBV RNA encoded by at least 16 and 30% of the EBV DNA, respectively.
Styptic
Definition:
(a.) Producing contraction; stopping bleeding; having the quality of restraining hemorrhage when applied to the bleeding part; astringent.
(n.) A styptic medicine.
Example Sentences:
(1) One method relied primarily on hemostatic sutures, and the other involved the use of a styptic solution (Monsel's solution) and vaginal pack, thus avoiding the use of sutures altogether.
(2) The possibility of transmission of virus particles from patient to patient by multi-use silver nitrate sticks and styptic pencils and by cotton wool swabs that have been dipped repeatedly into Dewar flasks of liquid nitrogen was studied.
