How can you use “stx” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
One immediately apparent factor that has been examined is age-related alterations in renal Stx binding and Stx receptor (galactose-α-1,4, galactose-β-1,4, glucose-ceramide (Gb3)) expression.
In HGEN, Stx-1 had an LD50 of about 10 -5g/L (140 pM), while in HGEC the LD 50 for Stx- was about 10-8 g/L (140 fM) and in HPT the LD 50 for Stx was about 10 -9.
It seemed reasonable, therefore, to examine whether sex steroids (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) could modify the cytotoxic effect of Stx on renal cells.
Indeed, there is no information whatsoever on how any sex steroid affects Stx responsiveness of any cell type.
An autopsy study determined that total kidney Gb3 levels were lower in infants than in adults (although only two individuals under 19 years of age were examined) [ 5 ] . Another study using immunostaining of biopsy samples found that glomeruli from infants (under two years of age), but not from older children or adults, bound Stx [ 6 ] . This provocative finding, albeit involving a relatively small sample size and patients who often had glomerulopathies, provided a potential explanation for augmented glomerular Stx sensitivity in young children.
