However, a key figured specimen previously reported as showing intermediate hook-tipped leaf morphology on a sole pinnule tip is discounted as such and is reinterpreted as a 'normal' pinnule partially hidden under sediment that results in an unusual appearance to this pinnule tip.
This antibody also detected BM vessels whose density was increased in AML specimens as previously reported (Serinsöz et al, 2004; Fig 1A).
Specimens from all patients with probable SARS in Taiwan were serologically tested for case confirmation, with a particular focus on the convalescent-phase serum specimens, as previously reported (9 ).
Based upon an extensive review on the literature and specimens of previously reported Bauhinia and other similar foliage from the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, we summarized the reliable fossil record of Bauhinia (see Additional file 4).
The expression of HER-2/neu on solid tumours was performed by immunohistochemistry by estimating the number and intensity of stained tumour cells per section of tumour specimen as previously reported (Berger et al, 1989) and using the DAKO's 0 3 scoring system.
The inter- and intra-assay coefficients of variation on pooled plasma specimens were as previously reported [ 29].
The multiplex PCR assays for detection of toxigenic C. difficile directly from fecal specimens have been previously reported [ 20– 20].
All PDR specimens have been previously reported to show suppression of Tbdn expression in the blood vessels of retinal lesions (Gendron et al., 2001).
In our study, we show for the first time that normal matching lung tissue in the tumour specimens analysed, as previously reported for other tumour types, does not show activated ERK1/2, while activation of ERK1/2 is frequently found in NSCLC.
Our diagnostic criteria for T. whipplei encephalitis required at least two positive PCR assays targeting 2 different sequences on 2 different cerebrospinal fluid specimens, performed as previously reported, or positive PCR assays on brain biopsies [ 16, 17] and negative results PAS staining of gastric and small-bowel specimens, plus an absence of meningitis, myelitis, and other organ involvement.
