Despite the importance of chemical cues for larval settlement, their actual identities are poorly described, and only very few elicitors have been fully chemically characterized and assigned to a defined natural source [3], [4], [5], [6], [7].
Proteins found in living organisms have been isolated, characterized, and assigned to different functional classes having related structures and functions.
For the H NMR spectroscopy Borer et al. had previously characterized and assigned the imino proton shifts of a stabilized SL3 derivative (WT-3).
Since most of the differentially expressed genes do not have homology to other genes, further work is necessary to characterize these transcripts and assign biological functions to them.
Bacterial phenotypes were characterized and previously assigned to biotypes [ 13, 24].
At necropsy, lesions were characterized and scores assigned for 3 internal tissues, air sacs, pericardium and liver, as described by Peighambari et al. [ 20].
The remaining 6 loci were successfully characterized and sufficient to assign the isolate to cc23.
Multiple proteins have been described as "Asp f" allergens; these entries were tabulated from www.allergen.org, with homology based sequence comparison to more fully characterize the open reading frame and assign putative functions.
†The sequence type for 1 clonal complex 23 strain was not available because of failure of existing primers to amplify the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (gdh) locus, but the remaining 6 loci were successfully characterized and were sufficient to assign the isolate to clonal complex 23.
