How can you use “cfa” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Matthys et al . recently showed that the enhanced severity of CIA in IFN-γ receptor-deficient mice immunized with type II collagen in CFA is due to an expansion of the CD11b +cells [ 36 ] . Since IL-10 -/-mice produce reduced levels of IFN-γ, we were interested in determining whether there was a specific expansion of CD11b +cells.
Recent work by Matthys et al . demonstrates that the protective effect of IFN-γ is dependent on the presence of the mycobacterial component of the adjuvant [ 36 ] . Only when mice are immunized with collagen in CFA is there an increase in disease severity in IFN-γ receptor-deficient mice.
Chicken type II collagen was used for generation of arthritis as described elsewhere [ 26 ] . Male and female WT, heterozygous IL-10 +/-and IL-10 -/-mice were immunized once with 100 μg chicken type II collagen emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) (Difco, Detroit, MI, USA) by intradermal injection at the base of the tail.
CFA = complete Freund's adjuvant; CIA = collagen-induced arthritis; ELISA = enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; FACS = fluorescence-activated cell sorting; FITC = fluorescein isothiocyanate; H & E = hematoxylin and eosin; IFN = interferon; IL = interleukin; MHC = major histocompatibility complex; PCR = polymerase chain reaction; Th cells = T helper cells; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor alpha; WT = DBA/1 wildtype.
This means that 180 CFA francs can be expressed as one hundred plus sixteen fives, or as one hundred plus three twenty-fives plus five, or yet again as seven twenty-fives plus five.
