The phrase "as representative models" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing examples or instances that serve to illustrate a broader concept or category.
Example: "The two species were selected as representative models for the study of evolutionary adaptation."
Alternatives: "as typical examples" or "as illustrative cases".
Urban Heat Island and Urban Cold Island effects were also discussed as representative models for anticipating the impact of climatic change on urban trees.
The effective design of repairs requires detailed analyses of the mechanics of bonded joints that may be viewed as representative models of those repairs.
Our results validate the use of fluorescent protein chimeras of AS as representative models for studying protein aggregation and offer new opportunities for the investigation of amyloid aggregation in vivo using YFP-tagged proteins.
The cell line was chosen as representative models of the various cellular environments that Arg-Eu-HAP are likely to interact with in vivo.
HeLa cells originating from epithelial cells have been used as representative models for the study of Salmonella invasion and virulence (Steele-Mortimer et al., 2002).
However, many of these lines were established over 20 years ago, many from pleural effusions rather than the primary tumour, so the validity of using them as representative models is questionable.
Soybean oil (Markant merk, Beesd, Gelderland, The Netherlands) was chosen as representative model substrate for vegetable oil waste.
ANS displacement assays for FABP5 were conducted using LA and OA, and for FABP7 using LA and DHA, as representative model ligands.
JURKAT and U937 cells were chosen as representative model systems that recapitulate the different biological responses of the cell lines tested.
These assays were conducted using linoleic acid (LA) and OA for FABP5 mutants, and for FABP7 mutants, using LA and DHA, as representative model ligands [binding preference: FABP5; OA > LA (22, 23), FABP7; DHA > LA (21, 22)].
These endothelial cells exhibited most of the characteristics of the primary human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cultured cells [ 13] and have been therefore selected as representative model to establish a functional ABB.
