How can you use “cell-cell” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In addition to its known lipid phosphatase activity, PAP2b/VCIP also mediate cell-cell interactions [ 31 ] .
In contrast, cell-cell contact in wild-type and control-infected, but not HIV-1-infected podocytes, caused a severe down-regulation of cyclin D 1 transcript and protein concomitant with the up-regulation of synaptopodin, a podocyte differentiation marker [ 7 28 ] , by the end of the 14-day differentiation period.
Whether it functions in the processing of androgen-induced secretory proteins or in other pathways induced by androgens or perhaps even in cell-cell signaling is unclear, but the degree of induction suggests it may have an important role in prostatic physiology.
Recently, a subset of CD4 +T cells was identified that is present on 5-10% of CD4 +T cells in normal naïve mice and expresses CD25 (the α-chain of IL-2 receptor) [ 4 5 ] . Functional analysis of murine CD4 +CD25 +T cells showed that those cells, which constitutively express cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 [ 6 7 8 ] , fail to proliferate or secret cytokines in response to polyclonal or antigen-specific stimulation, but inhibit the activation of conventional responsive T cells [ 1 2 3 8 9 ] . The suppressive activity of the CD4 +CD25 +T cells depends on signaling via the negative regulator of T-cell activation CTLA-4 [ 7 ] and requires a cell-cell interaction that possibly involves cell surface bound transforming growth factor (TGF)-β 1 [ 1 10 ] . It has been shown that B7/CD28 costimulation is essential for the development and homeostasis of the CD4 +CD25 +regulatory T cells [ 6 ] , which play critical roles not only in preventing autoimmunity but also in controlling tumor immunity and transplantation tolerance [ 2 11 ] .
Cells were maintained in humidified air containing 5% CO 2 for two weeks to allow for cell-cell junctions to mature.
