How can you use “overexpress” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • MCF-7 cells are known to have fewer than five copies of the Her2/neu gene, whereas HCC1954 cells overexpress the protein because of gene amplification [ 40 41 ] . Her2/neu protein levels were determined with a Her2/neu ELISA kit (Oncogene) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

  • MCF7/ADR cells have been demonstrated to overexpress MDR1/P-gp, as well as the GSTπ and MRP genes.

  • Localization of this protein to the nucleus also mirrors that of endogenous PP1α in vivo . When using this system to forcibly overexpress 6His-HA-PP1α, there is a concomitant decrease in endogenous PP1α levels, suggesting the existence of an autoregulatory mechanism by which PP1α protein levels remain constant.

  • Previously, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress the homeobox transcription factor Hoxc-8 in the thoracic region, where Hoxc-8 is normally expressed ( [ 1 ] and unpublished results).

Expression vectors for USF1, USF2a and USF2b inserted 3' of the CMV promoter in pCR™3 (Invitrogen, Groningen, The Netherlands) were used to overexpress USF isoforms [ 12 ] .
