Example sentences for: polymeric
How can you use “polymeric” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A biofilm is a structured community of bacterial cells enveloped in a self-produced polymeric matrix and adherent to an inert or living surface [ 22 24 ] . It is estimated that 99.
Since heparin and other anionic polymers are known to inhibit blood clotting [ 55 ] , the effect of anionic polymeric microbicide candidates on blood clotting was measured.
To the best of our knowledge, results reported here and earlier [ 8 ] represent the most detailed study on the mechanism of action of a polymeric anti-HIV-1 compound and offer new opportunities for microbicide research, including the design of combined microbicides with distinct target sites on HIV-1 and acting synergistically.
To avoid this, CAP in micronized form (which does not aggregate at low pH), instead of CAP in soluble form is being considered as a topical microbicide [ 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . Micronized CAP (Aquateric) was shown to be virucidal against HIV-1, herpesviruses and several nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] . The virucidal activity of micronized CAP could at least partly be explained by its buffering capacity at low pH [ 40 ] since it is a free acid while other anionic polymeric microbicide candidates (except BufferGel, the active ingredient of which is Carbomer 974P [ 27 ] ) are sodium salts.
Since CAP, unlike the other polymers listed above, is not soluble at low pH, characteristic for a normal vaginal environment [ 42 ] , micronized forms of CAP had to be used in microbicidal formulations of this compound [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Therefore, it was of interest to determine how CAP in micronized form and other candidate polymeric microbicides affect X4 and R5 viruses represented by HIV-1 IIIB and BaL, respectively.
