Such parameters have to be relatively sensitive and specific for the disease in question, have to be easy to apply by the nonspecialist, and should not be too expensive.
Conclusions: the MRL EIA proved to be relatively sensitive and specific assay for the serological diagnosis of mild and severe HFRS.
It sounded like a car crash, but it turned out to be relatively sensitive to the subject.
The pulvinar sign, which is relatively sensitive and specific for vCJD (14 ), did not exclude other disorders that rarely have similar features, including Wernicke's encephalopathy and inflammatory limbic encephalitis (27 – 27 ).
Compare with the clustering results for restaurants and fast foods, the clustering result for bars is relatively sensitive to the threshold.
For example, the human pathogen, Candida albicans, tends to be resistant to osmotic stress, while the plant pathogen, Ashbya gossypii, is relatively sensitive to osmotic stress [ 10].
Quantitative assay for apoptosis showed a remarkable induction of apoptosis in KM20C (4.2%) and SC-6 (3.5%), which were relatively sensitive to UFT.
Gen. Jon Parker of the Army's biological research center at Fort Detrick, Md., said tests showed that the anthrax was "sensitive to all antibiotics," indicating that treatment would be relatively easy for those known to be exposed.
In conclusion, our study demonstrates that our real-time RT-PCR assay is rapid, specific, and relatively sensitive for directly detecting influenza A subtype H5 virus and may be useful in routine diagnostic testing.
