What's the difference between sorter and sporter?

Sorter


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, sorts.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Furthermore, experiments with the fluorescence-activated cell sorter revealed increased forward light scatter from resting exudate PMN compared to blood PMN.
  • (2) By labeling Thy-1-positive cells of rats with xenoanti-Thy-1 or mouse alloanti-Thy-1 antibody and separating them from Thy-1-negative cells on a fluorescence-activated cell sorter, it was shown that early lymphopoietic stem cells all carry Thy-1-antigen.
  • (3) The lymphocyte subsets in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the peripheral blood of 25 healthy volunteers were examined by analysis with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter.
  • (4) Furthermore, by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis, equal proportions of stimulated lymphocytes in culture alone or with alveolar epithelial cell monolayers were induced to express receptors for interleukin-2 and for transferrin.
  • (5) Cell-sorter analysis of cells with membrane-bound P-IgG, coupled to direct determination of P-IgG released in the medium, revealed the fate of bound P-IgG: 40-60% of the P-IgGs were released in the medium within 30 minutes at 37 degrees C. This was accompanied and followed by a much slower, metabolic energy-dependent, internalization process of the membrane-bound P-IgG.
  • (6) Three different methods, morphologic, immunocytochemic, and fluorescence activated cell sorter (FC) analysis, were compared with respect to their efficiency in detecting breast cancer cells in bone marrow.
  • (7) Using fluorescence-activated cell sorter, CD4+CD8+ cells were sorted out from AKR thymocytes (H-2k, Thy-1.1) stained with two monoclonal antibodies against CD4 and CD8 (anti-L3T4 and anti-Ly-2).
  • (8) We describe here the methods by which enriched populations of oligodendrocytes were isolated from adult porcine brains using Percoll density gradient centrifugation and their immunological properties analyzed by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS).
  • (9) 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) vs. propidium iodide with the two-parameter Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter analysis showed relative inhibition of non-S-phase BrdUrd uptake at 24 hours.
  • (10) Fluorescence-activated cell sorter studies revealed a few T cells (apparently nonfunctional) in thymus and spleen; interestingly, these cells seemed highly disposed to neoplasia, because thymic T-cell lymphomas were observed in 41 of 269 mice.
  • (11) Using indirect immunofluorescence in combination with a cell sorter, we have shown that the level of expression of HA within cloned populations of producing cells can be variable.
  • (12) This phenomenon was missed because LAK cells are sensitive to NaN3 which is usually contained in buffers of MoAb and in the running solution of cell sorter.
  • (13) Data from a fluorescence-activated cell sorter indicated that supplementation with HCS reduced the number of T cells in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated cultures and suppressed proliferation of T and B cells in pokeweed-mitogen-stimulated cultures compared with controls.
  • (14) To investigate cell surface antigens of activated human eosinophils using monoclonal antibodies, we established a murine anti-human eosinophil monoclonal antibody AE500 by immunizing with blood eosinophils from patients with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and characterized the reactivity to a variety of human leucocytes by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter.
  • (15) Mast cells and macrophages were isolated from human lung tissues by using density gradient centrifugation, cell sorter, and adherence techniques.
  • (16) Strategies designed to address this problem will be discussed and include functional expression of neuropeptide hormone receptors in frog oocytes, hybrid depletion and inactivation of receptor-encoding mRNAs by RNase H digestion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of cDNAs encoding putative receptors, and expression of transfected receptor genes in cell cultures followed by identification using a cell sorter.
  • (17) Using a pair of fluorescence-labeled monoclonal antibodies specific to each GPA, somatic mutations in erythrocytes of MN heterozygotes at the GPA-M and -N alleles can be quantitatively determined using a flow sorter (Langlois et al., 1986).
  • (18) IL 2R was determined by analysing T cell surface Tac antigen with anti-Tac, a monoclonal antibody that binds at or near the binding site for IL 2, using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter.
  • (19) We studied the relationship between the amount of DAF on the membrane and cell maturity in total nucleated bone marrow (BM) cells, mature BM and peripheral blood (PB) neutrophils from normal subjects, and patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter with anti-DAF monoclonal antibodies.
  • (20) By double-parameter fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis, it was found that 5-10% of all splenic Lyt-2+ and L3T4+ lymphocytes are large, of which more than half are in mitotic cycle.

Sporter


Definition:

  • (n.) One who sports; a sportsman.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) As a near lifelong beard sporter, I was concerned to read an article in the Guardian last week saying that we have reached "peak beard" .
  • (2) Net-a-porter launched Net-a-Sporter earlier this year to fill that gap, and boasts an “après” area of the site with clothes that, says senior buyer (and qualified yoga instructor) Candice Fragis, cater to “women who want to be able to wear their fitness clothes after Pilates to lunch with a friend”.
  • (3) Third, keep your beard exactly as it is and come to the shop that I plan to open one day and buy a large badge that says: "I am not a passé hipster – I am a lifelong beard sporter!
