The phrase "activating disease" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to medical or biological discussions, particularly when referring to a disease that is triggered or initiated by certain factors.
Example: "The research focused on the mechanisms of activating disease in genetically predisposed individuals."
Alternatives: "triggering illness" or "inducing disease".
When a culture of H. phialophoroides KVF-2 B6 was separated into supernatant and mycelium mat by centrifugation, the supernatant was not very effective in activating disease resistance on pepper leaves against P. capsici.
A growing body of evidence suggests that NO, an important signaling and defense molecule in mammals, plays a key role in activating disease resistance in plants, acting as a signaling molecule and possibly also as a direct antimicrobial agent.
On the other hand, mycelium in suspension subjected to ultrasonification or mycelium mat ground in liquid nitrogen was very effective in activating disease resistance, reducing the lesion size on untreated lower leaves from 11 mm in diameter in the control to 2 to 4 mm.
In many complement activating diseases, biological activities of complement fragments become detrimental, resulting in tissue injury and disease [48].
If instead the glycopeptide alone is used for treatment of an already established disease, it will bind to class II MHC on professional antigen-presenting cells that potentially are capable of activating disease-promoting T cells since they also provide a second, co-stimulatory signal.
The changes mostly included upregulation of several genes, suggesting that immune tolerance suppressed disease by activating disease-regulating pathways.
The other two leaves were similarly inoculated on the lower unsprayed surface to test the ability to activate disease resistance.
Moreover, even on the back of the treated surface the lesion diameter was reduced from 12 mm in the control to 4 mm, indicating ability of this liquid culture to activate disease resistance on the untreated lower leaf surface.
At the core of epigenetics is the concept that we have the capacity to activate disease preventing genes and deactivate the genes that can potentially promote chronic disease.
These include genetic manipulations that constitutively activate disease resistance signaling pathways.
In this case, the NLR with the newly discovered 'integrated' domain is on the 'sensor NLR', which the paired NLR uses to activate disease resistance.
