Because HBV/HCV viral markers were not available for controls, we used a case-only approach to assess the hypothesis that the two categories of cases, distinguished by the presence or the absence of the viral marker, were characterized by etiological heterogeneity.
Expression of the above mentioned markers was characterized using a Gallios flow cytometer (Beckman Coultier, Mississauga, Canada).
The identified dietary pattern, which was strongly related to inflammatory markers, was characterized by high intakes of SSBs, refined grains, and red and processed meat, but low consumption of wine, coffee, cruciferous vegetables, and yellow vegetables.
Cells that were negative for both markers were characterized as viable.
In durum wheat, 9983 putative SNP markers were characterized between their two parents and used for genotyping 91 RILs (van Poecke et al. 2013).
Human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) were isolated and the cell surface markers were characterized via flow cytometry analysis in addition to multilineage differentiation capacity.
A total of 54 EST-SSR markers were characterized from 120 primer pairs designed by assaying 12 samples of the Vaccinium genus section Cyanococcus.
For the seven Xa genes detected in this study, allele frequency and allele patterns of 24 SNP markers were characterized across the 198 indica panel in correlation to disease reaction to the nine Xoo strains (Additional file 10: Table S4 and Additional file 11: Table S5).
