The phrase "ability of sensitizing" is not standard in written English and may sound awkward.
It could be used in contexts discussing the capacity to make someone aware or responsive to something, but it would be clearer with rephrasing.
Example: "The ability of sensitizing individuals to environmental issues is crucial for promoting sustainability."
Alternatives: "capacity to sensitize" or "skill in sensitizing".
An international workshop was held in 2006 to evaluate experimental techniques for hazard identification and hazard characterization of sensitizing agents in terms of their ability to produce data, including dose response information, to inform risk assessment.
Furthermore, we demonstrate the dependency of binaphthoquinone cytotoxicity on NDE1 and the ability to sensitize yeast to binaphthoquinones by overexpression of this enzyme.
Current test of sensitizing chemicals rely on animal experimentation.
To determine if both PZ-34 and PZ-38 have the ability to sensitize ABCG2-mediated drug resistance, we performed analyses of the effects of these compounds on survival of HEK293/ABCG2 cells in the absence or presence of mitoxantrone.
Glutamate is part of many pharmaceuticals due to its ability to sensitize the taste receptors and stimulate the brain activity.
Poh et al. identified two specific effects of LY30 that might explain its ability to sensitize HeLa carcinoma cells to TRAIL (Poh et al., 2007): (i) clustering of TRAIL receptors, and (ii) down-regulating the pro-survival protein cFLIP.
In the current study, we investigated whether suppression of the antioxidant glutathione by BSO has the ability to sensitize antihormone resistant MCF-7 2A MCF-7 2Aancer cells to estradiol-induced apoptosis.
Forty-four drugs from the library demonstrated cell viabilities higher than 70% at a concentration of 20 μM and were screened for their ability to sensitize PC3-TR cells to TRAIL under these conditions.
Allergens are often characterized by having the following traits: the ability to sensitize a genetically predisposed individual by triggering the production of IgE antibodies, the ability to bind those particular IgE antibodies, and the ability to cause an allergic reaction following IgE-binding [ 25, 26].
A key advantage of PEG-NRs and plasmonic nanomaterials more generally is the ability to "sensitize" tumor tissue to incident NIR light relative to surrounding tissues containing fewer PEG-NRs.
