antigenicity

Even if the virus strains are the same specific variety, the antigenicity is very different.

The distinctions between the serotypes is based on the their antigenicity.

There are 14 different capsule types, which each impart their own specific antigenicity.

Variant 2c however has a unique pattern of antigenicity.

This form of antigenicity gives rise to serotypes in tissue recipients.

The overlapping concepts of immunogenicity and antigenicity are, therefore, subtly different.

This may be the result of a reduction in antigenicity caused by SDS.

The bacilli have retained enough strong antigenicity to become a somewhat effective vaccine for the prevention of human tuberculosis.

P. gingivalis is divided into K-serotypes based upon capsular antigenicity of the various types.

Glycosylation of HA does not correlate with either the antigenicity or the selection pressure.

They are also fragile and constantly replaced, sometimes with pili of different composition, resulting in altered antigenicity.

Subsequent work showed that tumors escape immune recognition by losing their antigenicity in a process he named cancer immunoediting.

Spiegelmers themselves have low antigenicity.

Autoimmune: viral infection or some other unidentified insult may trigger antigenicity of the nasal mucosa.

Capsid proteins define cellular receptor specificity and virus antigenicity.

The antigens on cell surfaces are processed by the cells of the body's immune system depending on their antigenicity.

This is particularly true for the "K" antigen which shows a relatively high antigenicity and moderately low frequency ( 9%) in Caucasian populations.

Preparation of the sample is critical to maintain cell morphology, tissue architecture and the antigenicity of target epitopes.

Although most of these mutants did not result in loss of antigenicity of TSST-1.

A chain shortened version of protamine also acts as a potent heparin antagonist, but with markedly reduced antigenicity.

"Dogs have about nine major blood group factors that have been identified, but only two have enough serious antigenicity to cause antibody production against it," he said.

Cpn60 has also been found to display strong antigenicity in many bacterial species and has the potential for inducing immune protection against unrelated bacterial infections.

This modification appears to be central to specific antigenicity, giving rise to epitopes recognized by sera from RA patients [ 16, 17].

Viral infectivity, hemagglutinating activity, and antigenicity are remarkably resistant to heat, a wide range of hydrogen ion concentrations, and enzymes.

Most effective vaccines are whole-killed or live-attenuated organisms; killed HIV-1 does not retain antigenicity and the use of a live retrovirus vaccine raises safety issues.
