Example sentences for: contaminating
How can you use “contaminating” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Due to the potential of contaminating the tumor tissue sample with normal stroma, allele loss in informative patients was defined as a >50% decrease in the ratio of the polymorphic band intensities in the tumor tissue versus that in the surrounding normal stromal tissue; this was quantified using a densitometer.
All samples were DNase-treated to remove contaminating DNA and the yield was measured spectrophotometrically.
Primers and probes were designed from nonconserved sequences of the genes (allowing for isoform specificity), spanning sites where two exons join (splice sites) when such sites are known (preventing recognition of the assay to any potential contaminating genomic DNA).
The frequency reported in the present study (63%) is significantly higher than the original reported frequency of 21% [ 1] and most probably reflects the superior separation of tumor cells from normal contaminating tissue using a microdissection protocol.
14%), a typical background for cDNA cloning; 96% of the clusters with detectable homology have nematode homologs (1,227/1,280), 17% have only nematode homology, and in the vast majority of cases, higher conservation is seen to a nematode sequence than any non-nematode sequence; additional confirmation of nematode origin comes from the presence of an SL1 trans -spliced leader sequence on some genes; all sequences with strong amino-acid homology to prokaryotic genes were closely examined and in no cases were the high levels of identity maintained at the nucleotide level (as would be the case with a contaminating sequence).
