"repression measures" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is generally used to describe actions taken by a government or other authority to limit or suppress the civil liberties of its citizens, such as the use of violence or imprisonment. For example, "The authoritarian regime imposed severe repression measures in an effort to quell the civil unrest."
We also found that appending the A62 tail and 8 nt 3' tag instead of a longer poly(A) tail to the R-luc reporter mRNAs by itself did not affect on let-7-mediated repression, which was still strong (∼10.5 fold repression, measured 16 hours after mRNA transfection, Fig. 5C).
Do pro-deficit progressives realise that the burden of any future debt crises (or financial-repression measures) are likely to fall disproportionately on poor and middle-income citizens, as they have in the past?
Accustomed to repression, they measure hope and progress with a lower threshold, and some see in the elections the seeds of a less hierarchical and authoritarian system.
Reversal of LAG3 repression was measured as an increase in IL-2 production or NFAT activation in response to treatment with MK-4280, anti-humanman LAG3 antagonist antibody.
To investigate if such decrease was due to transcriptional repression, we measured the effect of TGF-β1 treatment on the activity of −980 Luc.
To determine the contribution of let-7-mediated mRNA destablisation to repression, we measured R-luc mRNA levels recovered from transfected HeLa cells by real-time RT-PCR and found no significant differences between 3xb and mut mRNAs (data not shown).
We next confirmed the role of Cyc8 Tup1 in FLO1 repression by measuring FLO1 transcription in cyc8 and tup1 single and double deletion mutant strains.
To determine whether the reduction in FoxO1 protein levels was the result of protein degradation or gene repression, we measured FoxO1 mRNA levels using real-time PCR.
Averages are here intended at steady state, thus the repression level measure 〈 p〉/〈 p0〉 for the stochastic model is perfectly equivalent to the one used in the response time analysis (see Figure 2).
Fold induction or repression was measured relative to controls and calculated after adjusting for 36B4 RNA (endogenous control) using 2−ΔΔCt, where ΔCt = Ct interested gene − Ct 36B4 RNA and ΔΔCt = ΔCt treatment − ΔCt vehicle control.
In Figure 2A, the normalized response time T ON / T0 to activation is plotted as a function of the repression level measured as p ss / p0, where p ss is the final steady-state protein concentration, while p0 is the steady-state protein concentration in absence of negative regulation.
