GP42-H1 vector-induced antibodies were functionally competent to inhibit influenza virus infection of cultured MDCK cells albeit with lower titers than antibodies from mice that survived infection by influenza virus.
To verify that both IRS-1 and -2 were functionally competent to participate in IGF-IR signalling, tyrosine phosphorylated IRS-1 or -2 was detected by immunoprecipitation and anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting.
Increased diagnostic accuracy values demonstrated throughout indicate that in an IVF setting HZA results are specific to fertility potential, establishing whether spermatozoa of the male under investigation are functionally competent to interact with the oocyte and complete a sequence of actions essential for fertilization.
The expanded EPC were verified to be functionally competent by permissivity to B19 parvovirus infection.
Although numerous indels and SNPs were detected, most alleles of the four RGHs appeared to be functionally competent.
She also found Mr. Cohen was "functionally competent" and added that he might again decide to change his will, "since he has the capacity to do it at any time".
The expressed M-CSFR was functionally competent and revealed an autophosphorylation in response to stimulation with its natural ligand, CSF-1 (Fig. 3A).
Firstly, we established that the FOXP3+ cells induced by PfSE stimulation are functionally competent and able, in a dose-dependent manner, to suppress proliferation of Teff cells.
To test whether these CD8+ T cells were functionally competent, we assessed the cytotoxic reactivity of the T cell lines specific for the viral antigen CMV pp65 and the tumor/autoantigen MelanA.
According to Yang and co-workers, unlike furin-processed Sema3C, MMP-processed Sema3C is functionally competent for EC inhibition, which leaves open the question on the requirement for Nrp1 signalling in this pathway, and would suggest a currently unknown function of the Ig-like domain of Sema3C (Fig 2).
