Example sentences for: chemokines
How can you use “chemokines” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Experiments with blocking mAbs were carried out to examine the chemokines in the supernatants of SCL that accounted for monocyte migration.
Evidence has accumulated to suggest that chemokines, such as CXCL8 (IL-8), CXCL5 (epithelial cell-derived neutrophil-activating protein), CCL2 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), CCL3 (macrophage inflammatory protein-1α) and CCL5 (RANTES), direct the migration of leukocytes into the RA synovium and joint fluid [ 8 ] . Chemokines occur in significantly elevated levels in human RA synovial fluid, where they are biologically active, and are expressed by cells of the synovium and cartilage.
ELR +CXC chemokines are potent angiogenic factors, whereas ELR -CXC chemokines are potent angiostatic factors.
These include the immediate early response genes Fos, Jun, and Myc, as well as inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP-2), chemokines (Gro-1) and the inhibitor of NFκB, IκB-alpha.
However, recent studies have indicated that large numbers of virus-specific CD8 +T cells preferentially accumulate in the synovial fluid of RA patients and that these cells are also oligoclonal, suggesting that non-antigen-specific homing may be responsible for the observed oligoclonality of CD8 +T cells in the synovial fluid [ 6 ] . Because chemokines such as macrophage inflammatory protein-1α and RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) are expressed in RA synovial tissue [ 7 8 ] , subsets of CD8 +T cells may be preferentially recruited into the synovial tissue in a non-antigen-specific manner.
