Significats de syncytium en anglès

Resistant cells are recruited into MHV-induced syncytium with consequent production of progeny virus.

Syncytial formation was assessed by enumerating nuclei number per syncytium and number of syncytia.

Spermatozoa are generated and mature within a germline syncytium.

Peptide preparations demonstrating antiviral activity were purified and tested for their ability to block syncytium formation.

Surprisingly, some membrane fusion-defective mutants significantly attenuated in syncytium-forming ability were able to complement viral replication.

In contrast, neither RVAAgs and RT activity nor syncytium and virus particles were detected in normal controls.

Furthermore, virus transmission appears to be less sensitive to inhibition of membrane fusion than is syncytium formation.

These results indicate that syncytium formation is not sufficient for cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1.

Externally is a thin cuticle; this covers the epidermis, which consists of a syncytium with no cell limits.

These molecules couple adjacent astrocytes to each other and allow water and ions to redistribute within the astrocyte syncytium.

RT assay showed that RVAAg-positive samples from 14 cases simultaneously expressed RT activities, and XC syncytium assay also revealed positive results.

MGHs are highly motile and share several features with mammalian multinucleated giant cells, a syncytium of macrophages formed during granulomatous inflammation.

A cell infected with some strains of HSV with defined mutations spread to neighboring cells by a fusion event called syncytium formation.

As expected, unlike that between fibroblasts, viral spread between neurons occurred in the absence of syncytium formation and with minimal extracellular virus.

C-terminal truncations of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I envelope affected the intracellular maturation and syncytium formation in a cell type-dependent manner.

By using these assays, envelope glycoprotein mutants with varying degrees of syncytium-forming ability were tested for ability to complement viral replication in trans.
