How can you use “heterologous” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Previously, we showed that RSG3 was expressed endogenously in rat pituitary cells and, when experimentally co-expressed together with GnRH receptors in a heterologous cell line (COS1), it suppressed GnRH-stimulated inositol trisphosphate production [ 9 ] . Here, those studies have been extended to include GnRH-stimulated LH secretion using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of RGS3 complementary DNA into normal rat pituitary gonadotropes.
Two molecular loci recently have been implicated as potential modulators of GnRH receptor signaling: one is the receptor itself [ 23 ] , and the other is the G protein that transduces the signal generated by binding of the receptor to its agonist [ 9 ] . With respect to the former locus, G protein coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) act in an agonist-specific manner to phosphorylate intracellular regions of the receptor thus permitting β arrestin binding that sterically inhibits G protein association with the receptor [ 1 45 ] . We have reported previously that experimental expression of GRKs in GnRH receptor-expressing heterologous cells (COS-1) suppressed GnRH-stimulated IP 3 production, and that co-expression of GRK2 and β-arrestin 2 suppressed GnRH receptor signaling more than that of either alone [ 23 ] . Stronger evidence that the GRK/β arrestin paradigm may play a role in regulating GnRH receptor signaling is our recent finding that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of GRK2 into normal pituitary gonadotropes suppressed GnRH-stimulated LH secretion and IP 3 production [ 31 ] . However, no evidence has been presented for a direct interaction between β-arrestin and the GnRH receptor.
Heterologous genes were cloned into the previously described Δpre-M/E replicon [ 12 ] , into the position previously occupied by the pre-M/E genes.
If the unique C-terminal 35 amino acid sequence of sα i2 functions as a Golgi targeting signal, it is important to test whether it is sufficient to target a heterologous protein to intracellular membranes.
Hill and his co-workers used a heterologous prime–boost vaccination technique.
