Sig


Definition:

  • (v. t.) Urine.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The majority of tumor cells in all lymphosarcoma cases were of the centroblastic type, and in two cases in which the presence of SIg was assayed, the majority of tumor cells were SIg-positive.
  • (2) The proportion of SIg carrying cells within the population forming EA-rosettes was between 11 and 26-4%.
  • (3) Nylon-adherent cells were highly enriched for surface immunoglobulin (SIg) bearing B lymphocytes (95.5%) and nonadherent cells for SIg negative non-B cells, presumably T lymphocytes (96.3%).
  • (4) We have investigated the possible physical interactions between CR, receptors for the Fc gamma R and surface Ig (sIg) on the surface membrane of murine B lymphocytes.

  • (8) Those TIL expressing activation antigens were CD2+, SIg-.
  • (9) This treatment did not affect the proportions of Lyt-2+, L3T4+, or sIg+ cells in the population, however, indicating that the augmentation in PFC was not due to changes in the ratio of T to B cells.
