Example sentences for: non-human
How can you use “non-human” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The allergic cynomolgus monkey ( Macaca fascicularis ) has been used as a non-human primate model to study inflammatory responses in the lung following allergen challenge [ 12, 13].
This study provides a novel large-scale profile of gene expression in the lung in allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation in non-human primates.
Importantly, several of these genes - those for eotaxin [ 20], VCAM-1 [ 21], MCP-1 [ 22] and MCP-3 [ 20] - were previously known to be inducible by IL-4 in cells relevant to pulmonary inflammation, and this regulation is corroborated here in vivo in the pulmonary tissue of a non-human primate.
Primarily examined through the use of G-banding cytogenetic techniques, the human and common chimpanzee karyotypes differ by only 10 euchromatic rearrangements: a telomere fusion between PTR chromosomes 12 and 13, resulting in HSA chromosome 2, and 9 pericentric inversions (HSA 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18) [ 1 2 ] . The predominance of pericentric inversions between chimps and humans highlights their potential importance in the divergence of human from non-human primate species, and provides an opportunity to investigate the mechanism facilitating these rearrangements.
Thus, the gene-expression profile in this non-human primate model could provide useful insights into genes regulated in asthma and the mediators produced, although there is no evidence that the antigen used in this study would produce the same allergic reaction in humans.
