The phrase "a complete defect of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are describing a total failure or absence of something, often in technical or formal discussions.
Example: "The report highlighted a complete defect of the safety mechanisms in the machinery, leading to potential hazards."
Alternatives: "an absolute lack of" or "a total absence of".
Mesp1 and Mesp2 double-knockout embryo showed a complete defect of mesodermal migration and heart formation which confirmed the compensation effect of Mesp2 for Mesp1 (Kitajima et al., 2000).
In contrast, we observed a complete defect of GATA2 −/− hESCs in generating granulocytes in OP9-driven blood differentiation.
Mice with the combination of Nfatc2, Nfatc3, and Nfatc4 mutations have a complete defect of midline crossing of the commissural neurons in response to netrins and neurons from these mice are unable to respond to neurotrophins [47], whereas NFAT single-knockout mice have lesser neuronal defects [2,19].
The lack of a complete defect in Fad of this double mutant suggests that other fadDs exist in P. aeruginosa.
Cases presenting with an ISH and IMSH do not show a complete defect in the mesosigmoid; therefore, laparoscopic detachment of peritoneal adhesions to enable sigmoid colon mobilization is often possible and sufficient.
As mentioned earlier, Q785R has a complete defect in membrane tubulation secondary to loss of lipid binding.
To reveal whether the synergistic effect of anti-BST2 mAb and CpG ODN is dependent on NK cells, NOG mice that have the complete defect of NK cells and the dysfunction of macrophages were used.
Partial or complete defects of this type have been shown to induce resistance to apoptosis in yeast (Harris et al, 2000) and mammalian cells (Tomiyama et al, 2006), and Jass has suggested that evasion of apoptosis may be the pathogenic mechanism that gives rise to the glandular serrated phenotype (Higuchi & Jass, 2004).
By contrast, histological and electron microscopy analysis of muscle tissue reveal a near complete defect in the assembly of the contractile apparatus in myofibers in the mutant.
Patients with this defect have low proportions of IL-17A-producing T cells and an almost complete defect in the generation of a Th17 response.
Using microcomputed tomography and quantitative analysis of the regenerated bone growth kinetics, we show that the amount of newly formed bone and kinetics can be modulated: an effective and fast repair was obtained in 1 2 weeks in the best conditions, including complete defect bridging, formation of vascularized and mineralized bone tissue.
