Until a final decision is made, F.A.A. inspectors are functioning as quality-control personnel for the airline, Mr. Lacey said.
If the Rsp5-ART system is functioning as a bona fide quality control pathway at the PM, we would expect to observe genetic interactions with other quality control systems for integral membrane proteins along the secretory pathway.
If 111005A03Rik is functioning as a methyltransferase in the control of transcriptional regulation, it is possible that the expression of other genes targeted or regulated by 111005A03Rik and/or Jmjd6 might influence phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.
At 14 00 h the 3 additional ants were harvested to function as controls for ants that died after the manipulated biting event.
However, the natural history of acute ankle sprains is still not fully known, because good quality comparative studies including a no-treatment strategy, functioning as control group, are lacking.
Utilization of the Fim mutants is also functioning as a control for bacteria that cannot interact with M-cells, but can still invade our 3-D aggregates, demonstrating that Salmonella entry into 3-D cells is not solely dependent upon interactions with M-cell/M-like cells.
Reactions in which the reverse transcriptase was replaced with water functioned as negative controls.
Healthy subjects, with a history of normal renal function, were used as controls.
Stage 0 COPD and Mild IPF patients with preserved lung functions were used as controls in comparison to Stage 4 COPD and Severe IPF patients.
The primary advantage of using genes expressed within the cells investigated as reference genes is that they also function as endogenous controls, since they are exposed to the same conditions in vivo and in vitro, thereby providing a direct indication of the quantity and quality of the samples.
