What's the difference between revert and revertable?
Revert
Definition:
(v. t.) To turn back, or to the contrary; to reverse.
(v. t.) To throw back; to reflect; to reverberate.
(v. t.) To change back. See Revert, v. i.
(v. i.) To return; to come back.
(v. i.) To return to the proprietor after the termination of a particular estate granted by him.
(v. i.) To return, wholly or in part, towards some preexistent form; to take on the traits or characters of an ancestral type.
(v. i.) To change back, as from a soluble to an insoluble state or the reverse; thus, phosphoric acid in certain fertilizers reverts.
(n.) One who, or that which, reverts.
Example Sentences:
(1) Friend erythroleukemia cells were induced to differentiate by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and hexamethylene-bis-acetamide (HBMA) in order to investigate whether their lipid characteristics, common to other systems of transformed cells, revert to a normal differentiation pattern.
(2) Upon depletion of ATP in contraction, the P2 intensity reverted to the original rigor level, accompanied by development of rigor tension.
(3) Lipoprotein concentrations reverted to normal after substitution with thyroxine (T4) until the euthyroid state was reached.
(4) As compared with solvent-treated control, no significant increases were observed in the number of revertant colonies in all tester strains in both systems with and without mammalian metabolic activation (S9 Mix).
(5) Proteolytic activity of cell extracts from revertants of Shigella flexneri L-forms as well as biochemical properties of these strains and their sensitivity to antibiotics were studied.
(6) A total of 43 tra-3 revertants (one intragenic, 42 extragenic) have been isolated and analyzed, in the hope of identifying new sex-determination loci.
(7) All cellular signals characterized so far are reverted during retrodifferentiation: Redistribution of PKC and down-regulation of c-fos and c-jun contribute to an interruption of the differentiation-associated transsignaling cascade.
(8) Fruiting revertants of these strains accumulate wild-type levels of alpha-mannosidase-1 activity, suggesting that both the enzymatic and morphological defects are caused by single mutations in nonstructural genes essential for early development.
(9) All revertants to prototrophy tested showed the rifampin-sensitive (Rifs) property.
(10) This product was glycosylated since it bound to concanavalin A-Sepharose and reverted to the 66-kDa polypeptide after treatment with endoglycosidase H. This glycosylated product was resistant to protease digestion and fractionated with microsomal membranes on sucrose gradients, indicating that it is incorporated into the microsomal membranes.
(11) Of the five patients who had diabetes prior to treatment, three reverted to normal glucose tolerance during treatment.
(12) We studied the activation of polyoma middle T expression in revertant cells carrying transcriptionally inactive copies of the middle T (pmt) oncogene.
(13) However, with subsequent subcultivation, eight isolates reverted back to the standard of exhibiting motility and pellicle formation.
(14) A significant correlation was observed between prolactin and creatinine concentrations in these patients (r = 0.45 P less than 0.005) and prolactin reverted towards normal after successful renal transplantation.
(15) Conversely, when obesity was permitted to recur by giving the mice free access to food, PRL levels reverted back to the original obese pattern.
(16) We have isolated and characterized revertants of ts24, a member of the A complementation group of Sindbis HR mutants, that we had demonstrated previously to have a temperature-sensitive defect in the regulation of minus-strand synthesis.
(17) All revertants of adA24 carried dominant suppressor mutations.
(18) Using this technique we have cloned and sequenced the structural protein region of ts20 and of several revertants and concluded that the mutation was a change from histidine to leucine at amino acid 291 of E2.
(19) To study important epitopes on glycoprotein E2 of Sindbis virus, eight variants selected to be singly or multiply resistant to six neutralizing monoclonal antibodies reactive against E2, as well as four revertants which had regained sensitivity to neutralization, were sequenced throughout the E2 region.
(20) Enzymatic data for those ICR-191A-induced revertants of hisD3018 arising within the hisD gene indicate that the enzyme is wild type and, therefore, that ICR-191A can cause deletions as well as additions of single base pairs.
