How can you use “fetal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Tropomodulins are the vertebrate proteins that cap the pointed ends of filamentous actin [ 1 ] . The first tropomodulin (TMOD) gene was cloned by Sung and colleagues (1992) from a fetal liver library.
Briefly, the cells were mechanically dissociated, suspended in Opti-MEM with 5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 0.2% N2 supplement (GIBCO) and 1% antibiotic solution (penicillin G 10 4units/ml, streptomycin 10 mg/ml and amphotericin B 25 μg/ml) and plated in flat bottom 96 well plates.
It is also possible that some of the differences seen between Hoxa3 +/- Pax1 -/-and cytokine mutant phenotypes reflect different effects of cytokines at fetal and adult stages.
Chess and coworkers have shown that transforming growth factor-α and hepatocyte growth factor increase the phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAPK in H441 cells [ 23 ] . Epidermal growth factor, which binds to the same receptor as transforming growth factor-α, increases SP-A content in human fetal lung [ 24 ] . Hepatocyte growth factor has also been shown to upregulate the synthesis of SP-A in rat type II cells [ 25 ] . Thus, phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK may be involved in the up-regulation of SP-A gene expression, results consistent with our observation that inhibition of basal levels of p44/42 MAPK phosphorylation may decrease SP-A gene expression.
Fetal ovaries, corpora lutea, and maternal interstitial/follicular (residual) tissues were fixed by immersion in 10% buffered formalin, washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol, cleared in xylene, infiltrated with and embedded in paraffin wax, and sectioned at 6 μm thickness.
