Example sentences for: chemotactic
How can you use “chemotactic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A plausible explanation is that these cytokines may be involved in complex interactions with other molecules that are chemotactic for DC.
Thus, by 12 hours post endotoxin administration, chemotactic responsiveness was at or below control levels.
MIG/CXCL9 and IP-10/CXCL10 are potent angiostatic factors that are induced by IFNγ [ 14 16 17 ] . Both MIG/CXCL9 and IP-10/CXCL10 are chemotactic for stimulated CXCR3-expressing activated T lymphocytes that could further amplify IFNγ at the tumor site [ 30 ] . Hence we postulated that in addition to IFNγ, IP-10/CXCL10 and MIG/CXCL9 would also be important contributors to the tumor reduction in the context of SLC/CCL21 therapy.
It has been shown that increasing amounts of Ang-2 can block the chemotactic activity of Ang-1 in endothelial cells [ 21 ] . Ang-2 alone did not stimulate corneal neovascularization, but the combination of Ang-2 and VEGF resulted in longer vessels with greater circumferential extent than those seen with VEGF alone [ 9 ] . This suggests that Ang-2 expression in the absence of VEGF leads to vessel regression, whereas expression of Ang-2 in the presence of VEGF potentiates angiogenesis.
For example, RP L18, which was significantly down-regulated by NGF, has been reported to negatively regulate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) [ 45 ] . As an additional example RP S19, which is also down-regulated by NGF, has been implicated in erythropoiesis and has also been described as a monocyte chemotactic factor [ 46 ] . As one last example, rat RP L9 which we found to be up-regulated by NGF starting within a few hours and maximally by 8 hrs, has been shown to be the ortholog of the yeast gene grc5 which appears to be involved in multiple cellular functions including growth control, cytoskeleton control and energy metabolism [ 47 ] . Identification of NGF-regulated RPs should now facilitate exploration of their potential roles in the responses of cells to neurotrophins.
