Sentence examples for elicit disease from inspiring English sources

Trillions of microbes inhabit the human gut, not only providing nutrients and energy to the host from the ingested food, but also producing metabolic bioactive signaling molecules to maintain health and elicit disease, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Figure 4B shows that the ΔhrpB2 strain was unable to elicit disease symptoms and that the virulence of the mutant strain was fully restored by transformation with pUFR047_hrpB2.

Using a clinical isolate of a P. aeruginosa strain and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, earlier studies have shown that this bacterium employs a similar subset of virulence factors to elicit disease in animals and plants [10], [11].

In most instances the likelihood of survival after exposure to infectious agents or poisons is normally distributed, and therefore cumulative dose-survival curves display sigmoidal responses with subthreshold doses failing to elicit disease and high doses plateauing towards maximal effects.

Mechanistic studies have proven that pathogenic bacteria also employ a similar subset of virulence determinants for attachment, secretion and genetic regulation, and ultimately to elicit disease in both animals and plants [9] [11].

As shown in Figure 1A, compared to the non-bacterial controls, a small amount (2 µl) inoculum of bacterial suspension was enough to elicit disease symptoms, which were characterized by collapsing of the fronds and inhibition of reproduction and growth at day 1 after inoculation, followed by chlorosis and complete maceration at 2 to 3 d after inoculation.

We propose the replacement of endogenous epitopes with foreign epitopes to exploit the highly immunogenic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as a vaccine vector to elicit disease-protective cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses.

It is now well accepted that chronic HIV infection and/or HAART may influence several co-morbid diseases of aging as well as elicit disease-specific conditions [ 29, 30].

Gut microbes are involved in the biosynthesis of an array of bioactive compounds, contributing to normal human physiological functions or eliciting disease (Fan et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2011).

Thus, iatrogenic administration of type 1 IFN (IFNα or IFNβ) elicits disease flares in susceptible individuals, as does endogenous IFN release in the course of viral disease [13], [14].

Synergistic viral diseases in plants, namely the co-infection of a host plant with two unrelated viruses which elicits disease symptoms that are more severe than the sum of those induced in either single infection, have been shown to be dependent in some instances on VSRs [34].
