How can you use “tropism” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The strain used in this study, AD169, and the Towne strains were both used to develop vaccines [ 49 ] . Differences in infectivity have been observed between 2 of the same strains of CMV and this may be attributed to the deletion or mutation of certain tropism genes upon extensive serial propagation [ 50 51 ] . Clinical isolates (wild-type CMV) can carry more than 220 genes, and some of these genes can be lost by deletion and/or rearrangement during laboratory passage [ 50 ] . The AD169 strain used in this study has been passaged many times and because of these variations observed among the CMV strains, this may partly account for the low infectivity observed in the BJAB-B1 and P3HR-1 cells.
Perhaps the strategy is linked to the particular tissue tropism of C. psittaci.
This coat protein allows the virus to be concentrated and confers greater tropism.
Even with these receptors being implicated as requirements for CMV adherence and penetration, the wide range of cellular tropism observed would suggest that additional receptors might be used.
Hence, tissue tropism must be a crucial factor.
