NTMs were not mentioned in the majority of studies, and, when reported, were usually excluded from specificity determinations.
We show that lupus-specific autoimmunity evolves from a limited set of autoantigens, with most of the initiating autoantibodies being anti-60 kD Ro, anti-nRNP A, aPL or RF, but unexpectedly apparently anti-Sm and anti-nRNP 70 K being excluded as specificities that initiate lupus autoimmunity alone.
When using LBP, it is quite common to exclude the specificity of the so-called non-uniform patterns and count their occurrences as simply non-uniform [10].
In order to examine the delivery of active mammalian membrane protein using liposomes as carriers, we used a human carcinoma cell line HeLa which is negative for gp91phox proteins (data not shown) so as to exclude cellular specificity of the delivery.
The UBE3B gene was expressed in all examined tissues and the altered splicing pattern was observed in all tissues of affected animals, excluding tissue specificity.
Yet, only 14 of the 40 BCD genes are expressed in liver, and these 14 have higher functional similarity values in all three categories: bp BCD, liver) = 0.44, mf BCD, liver) = 0.63, and cc BCD, liver) = 0.91, suggesting that the disease genes excluded by tissue specificity are those whose functional relatedness is smaller.
These 14 students were excluded from the specificity analysis.
14 nursing students were excluded from the specificity analysis, due to exposure to mycobacterium tuberculosis.
For example, oligonucleotides can be synthesized such that homologous sequences between genes can be excluded, thereby enhancing specificity.
