The phrase "a proportion of sensitive" is not correct in English as it is incomplete and lacks clarity.
It can be used when discussing a specific portion of a group that possesses sensitivity, but it needs to be followed by a noun to be clear.
Example: "A proportion of sensitive individuals in the study reported feeling anxious."
Alternatives: "a portion of sensitive" or "a segment of sensitive".
However, not all patients with ER + tumors are sensitive to endocrine treatment (primary resistance) and a proportion of initially sensitive patients may develop a secondary resistance during or after treatment.
A problem in interpreting this significant effect is that a larger proportion of sensitive individuals received the UMTS compared with GSM or sham exposure in session 2 (the first of the 50-min double-blind conditions).
Further analysis revealed that this increased arousal was most likely due to a higher proportion of sensitive individuals receiving the UMTS signal first.
This mechanism, as well as an aberrant response to epithelial injury and pro-fibrotic growth factor release from inflammatory cells, could provide the basis for airway allergen remodelling in chronic asthma, only a proportion of which is corticosteroid-sensitive.
For the G2 assay, the proportion of radiosensitive cases within our group of breast cancer patients with a known or putative genetic predisposition (43%), was comparable with the proportion of sensitive cases identified in a group of sporadic breast cancer patients (Scott et al, 1999).
We found however that a proportion of Rb-null hepatocytes remain sensitive to TGFβ and undergo cell cycle arrest and investigated whether P53 and P21Cip1could be involved.
Importantly, however, the lineage-specific proportion of samples scoring positive for the 13-gene signature was strikingly comparable to the proportion of sensitive cell lines to NVP-CFC218, in a given lineage.
Indeed, the relatively small fold changes in mRNA level observed during validation indicate that in each case only a proportion of the mRNA is NMD-sensitive, suggesting that some sort of probabilistic event is responsible.
The index measures the proportion of sensitive (SPEAR) and less sensitive (SPEnotAR, "SPEcies not At Risk") species and is expressed as a percentage.
The infectivity of a single phage population per metapopulation (global infectivity) was assayed in the same way, with infectivity defined as the proportion of sensitive bacteria.
