Despite mutation, the cells in this tumor population continued to express a functional immunoglobulin molecule and to retain, over a span of 3 years, the idiotypic determinant defined by the 4D6 monoclonal antibody.
These results suggest that the conformational antigenic determinant defined here may be a key region for drift variation among H5N1 viruses that have infected humans.
However, leptospiral LPS is highly variable; its variations are thought to be the major antigenic determinant defining differences between approximately 230 serovars and contributing to serovar specific immunity [7].
For each determinant defined in step 2, appropriate theoretical methods were identified from literature and from the guidelines published by Bartholomew et al. (2006) [ 21].
Because the localization of this radiolabeled silver, now deposited as metallic silver, is in good agreement with the final image of the adjacent section stained by Bodian method, it is likely that these metallic silver deposits play a determinant role in defining final image obtained with Bodian method [ 44].
He defines a determinant for an event as any set of conditions jointly sufficient, given the laws of nature, for the event's occurrence.
Bauman et al. define a determinant as a preceding, causal predictor of change in physical activity.
Our research shows that the sill level (asymptote) of the SF is mainly defined by a determinant of EEG correlation matrix reflecting the EEG spatial structure.
A welfare mix is often considered an abstract concept, and it is not always clear whether it is defined as a determinant or a result of welfare systems.
Further, SES is a determinant of health within groups defined by race/ethnicity, something not measured when race/ethnic group is the variable of analysis (8 ).
Size, as stated previously, was defined as a determinant for local recurrence of tumors, but it has been demonstrated in recent years that size does not affect recurrence or survival unless residual tumor remains after surgery.
