Sentence examples for rather than receptor from inspiring English sources

Results: Internalization of tritiated methotrexate in mesothelioma cell lines grown at physiologic folate levels was carrier mediated rather than receptor mediated.

Interestingly, Aβ induces a decrease in the total synaptic content of mGluR1; this finding suggests receptor endocytosis and degradation rather than receptor recycling.

It has been suggested that activation of the immune system rather than receptor blockage explains the association with HIV/AIDS [ 47].

On the other hand, our results suggest that, in primary prostate cancer, HER3, together or not with HER4, rather than receptor complexes involving HER2, could play important roles in the biology of these tumors.

According to previous reports, FAS expression was progressively decreased during tumour progression from normal epithelium to adenocarcinoma (Leithauser et al, 1993; Moller et al, 1994), which leads to conclude that other factors rather than receptor expression alone influence cell sensitisation.

As stated earlier, our findings of decreased  H]DAMGO binding with no changes in OPRM protein would be consistent with a change in receptor availability rather than receptor number.

This effect was cell-specific rather than receptor-specific (Figure 4C), and it correlated with cell differences in PAR glycosylation, i.e. a heavier glycosylation of the receptors in NHP cells than in 293T and QT6 cells (Figure 4D).

This increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration must be a result of influx rather than receptor-mediated store release as RBCs do not possess intracellular stores.

During EBV infection, it is well accepted that due to the lack of EBV receptors on ECs, cell-to-cell infection is the main pathway for EBV infection rather than receptor-mediated cell-free infection.

Note that both wildtype-untagged EGFR and EGFRGFP do not change the DCN branching pattern, hinting that asymmetric receptor signaling is governed by differential receptor distribution, rather than total receptor levels per se.

Contrarily, A2 receptors may possibly act in a different way since they simulate cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) via Gs receptors rather than Gi receptors as for A1 receptors.
