Example sentences for: chemoattractants
How can you use “chemoattractants” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
On the other hand, chemokines are chemoattractants that signal leukocyte migration by setting up concentration gradients that are recognized by chemokine receptors [ 35].
The CXC chemokines such as IL-8 were originally identified as potent activators and chemoattractants for neutrophils, whereas the CC chemokines such as MCP-1 and RANTES mostly attract monocytes and eosinophils respectively [ 10 ] . Chemokines are secreted in a stimulus-and cell type-specific manner [ 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ] and are regulated primarily at the level of gene transcription [ 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] . The transcriptional promoters of IL-8, RANTES and MCP-1 contain binding sites for the redox-responsive transcription factor NF-κB, which has been shown to be important for their regulation by viral infections and cytokines [ 18 20 23 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] .
MIG/CXCL 9 and IP-10/CXCL10 are glutamine-leucine-arginine (ELR)-negative CXC chemokines that are potent chemoattractants for activated T cells [ 11 12 13 ] . These chemokines also have in common the ability to signal through a G protein-coupled receptor, CXCR3, expressed on activated T lymphocytes.
The results of this study suggest that IL-2 administration induces inflammation at the tumor site, with three predominant secondary effects: activation of antigen-presenting monocytes; a massive production of chemoattractants that may recruit other immune cells to the tumor site, among which are the chemokines MIG and PARC specific for T cells; and the activation of lytic mechanisms ascribable to monocytes (calgranulin, grancalcin) and NK cells (for example, NKG5, NK4) (Figure 8).
