isopyenic -
"
A method is described for obtaining large numbers of isolated taste bud cells from lingual epithelium of rabbit foliate
papillae. The isolation method is based onisopyenic sedimentation in a Percoll gradient. The purification of taste bud cells
was evaluated by electron microscopy and by immunohistochemistry using CK 20 antibody. The cytology of the isolated
taste bud cells remained very similar to in situ cells. The type III cells, which are regarded as gustatory cells, retained their
characteristic dense-cored granules in the cytoplasm. This method will permit study of various parameters of taste bud cell
biology.

Related to jactitation.

The Oxford Dictionary of Law has an entry for jactitation of marriage:

A false assertion that one is married to someone to whom one is not in fact married. Proceedings for jactitation were abolished by the Family Law Act 1986 but an injunction may be sought to restrain such claims being made and may be useful in preventing a presumption of marriage from arising.
