How can you use “seronegative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
For all three antigens, Newkirk et al . used EIA assays and established their negative/positive cutoff value using the mean plus two standard deviations of 15 CMV seronegative sera [ 14 ] . This appears to have resulted in a negative/positive cutoff value significantly lower than that observed in the present study using either the manufacturer's recommended cutoff value or our own cutoff value established with the 40 seronegative sera.
For example, testing of nearly 700 sera will be required to determine whether an autoantibody frequency of 5% among CMV seropositive individuals and of 1% among CMV seronegative individuals is a significant difference.
For RNP, using the mean OD plus two standard deviations (Table 1) of the 40 CMV seronegative sera to establish a negative/positive cutoff value, two of the 40 CMV seronegative sera were positive (OD = 0.22 and 0.30), three of the CMV seropositive sera were positive (OD = 0.25, 0.26 and 0.25), and none of the sera from the vaccine recipients were positive.
The HTLV-I and HTLV-II subjects were comparable to seronegative subjects with regard to age, gender and race/ethnicity, except that HTLV-I subjects were somewhat older, and more likely to be of black race/ethnicity and to be former smokers (Table 1).
The mean of each parameter was compared between the HTLV-I, HTLV-II and seronegative groups using ANOVA tests.
