Sentence examples for virus size from inspiring English sources

Removal is dictated by the pore size distribution of the membrane and the virus size.

Porcine circovirus type 2, a member of the Circoviridae family, is a small, icosahedral, non-enveloped, single-stranded circovirus DNA virus (size ~17 nm) (Tischer et al. 1982).

Non-viral gene therapy uses engineered nanoparticles in the virus size range for the cell-targeted delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids.

Using pore size distributions determined from LLP, a mechanistic mathematical model grounded on the principle of particle retention by size exclusion closely predicted measured virus retention performance, both as a function of virus size and of membrane pore size.

The multiple hit model explains how antibodies neutralize viruses, and recent data on the stoichiometry of antibody neutralization suggest that the organization of viral surface proteins on viruses, in addition to virus size, influences the level of antibody occupancy required for neutralization.

Given the biophysically relevant ranges for membrane bending rigidity (10 40 kBT) and receptor-ligand binding energy

While filter-sterilized seawater had much lower HOOH levels (∼40±1 nM), the possible presence of Prochlorococcus phage in natural seawater necessitated either some form of heat sterilization prior to preparation of culture media, or else the ultrafiltration to remove virus size-class particles.

Enteroviruses are non-enveloped viruses (size range between 18 and 30 nm) appear to be resistant to environmental factors (Evans 2003).

Last year, a team of scientists found that sea-star wasting disease is caused by a virus-size organism (and therefore probably a virus).

He then ground them up, filtered them through porcelain that let only tiny virus-size particles through, and injected the filtrate into other rabbits, which grew horns in turn.

Scientists foresee a day when they can churn out virus-size computers, cancer-munching robots swimming through arteries and desktop factories assembling watches out of dust.
