This would either kill the virus, or block its entry into the body ( not strictly a microbicidal action, but the term is still used ).
12.
Researchers should turn their attention to other microbicidal products, Richardson said, to see if they offer women more protection _ at least until vaccines can be developed.
13.
The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 1, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense.
14.
In October 2011, the anti-HIV drug tenofovir, when used topically in a microbicidal vaginal gel, was reported to reduce herpes virus sexual transmission by 51 %.
15.
The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 3, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense.
16.
Oxygen-independent microbicidal mechanisms are based on the production of acid, on the secretion of lysozymes, on iron-binding proteins, and on the synthesis of toxic cationic polypeptides.
17.
A look at what tools could be given to women to help them reduce their risk of contracting HIV . This would include, Foege said, the use of " microbicidal agents ."
18.
A Finnish proverb states that " if sauna, vodka and tar won't help, the disease is fatal . " Wood tar is used in traditional Finnish medicine because of its microbicidal properties.
19.
Defensins are 2-6 kDa, cationic, microbicidal peptides active against many Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses, containing three pairs of intramolecular disulfide bonds.
20.
Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease ( CGD ), which is characterized by the failure of activated phagocytes to generate superoxide, which is important for the microbicidal activity of these cells.
