Example sentences for: allergen
How can you use “allergen” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Meloidogyne extracellular mappings (15 clusters) were all within the category of SCP/Tpx-1/Ag5/PR-1/Sc7 extracellular proteins (InterPro domain IPR001283) and showed homology to the genes vap-1 from H. glycines and Mi-msp-1 from M. incognita [ 40 41 ] , both venom allergen antigen 5 family members with homologs in numerous nematodes including hookworms and C. elegans [ 42 ] . Categories that particularly contributed to the abundance of ligand-binding/carrier mappings for Meloidogyne included EF-hand calcium binding (22 clusters), RNA recognition motif (18 clusters), and a variety of ATP-binding domains (20 clusters).
Four hours after allergen challenge, genes in this cluster were increased by two- to fourfold of the level observed in normal controls.
Furthermore, the quantity of cat allergen found in schools or even in houses without cats is sufficient to sensitize at-risk children [11].
The use of a higher criterion (that is, threefold) excluded some genes, such as those for MCP-1 and ICAM-1, which are known to be regulated in the acute phase of allergen challenge [ 15, 16]; on the other hand, a lower criterion, such as twofold, increased the probability of false-positive genes and lack of confirmation by RT-PCR (see Validation of the microarray gene expression, below).
Therefore, the actual number of genes induced by the allergen may be higher.
