Words similar to costimulatory
Example sentences for: costimulatory
How can you use “costimulatory” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The effects were determined to be a direct consequence of CD81 ligation on T cells, as anti-CD81 mAb pre-treatment of purified T cells, but not non-T cells, induced the costimulatory effects.
In addition, the genes activated by TCR, costimulatory receptors and IL-2 must be distinguished from those activated by IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α, as well as the genes regulated by the Toll-like receptors (TLR), all of which have been identified as mediators of lymphocyte activation events that were previously ascribed to LAF.
The costimulatory effects were documented using two antigenic systems: a superantigen (SEB), and a conventional viral antigen (CMV).
Recently, Riley et al [ 43 ] and Diehn et al [ 44 ] described genes regulated by the TCR and the costimulatory receptors CD28, ICOS and CTLA-4, over a time course of 1-48 hours.
Interestingly, inhibition of Rho-p160ROCK has recently been shown to give similar lymphocyte morphology as inhibition of Rho with C3 [ 50 ] . Another interesting candidate may be p120 PKN, as recent studies have established that PKN phosphorylates cytoskeletal intermediate filaments [ 47 ] and is directly linked to the cytoskeletal network through associations with α-actinin [ 48 ] . Also, PKN may be involved in relating cytoplasmic signals to the nucleus, for in response to stress, nuclear translocation of PKN occurs [ 49 ] . This is particularly important in light of previous work demonstrating that inactivation of Rho in peripheral blood T lymphocytes inhibits costimulatory signals up-regulating IL-2 production [ 25 ] . Future experiments will focus on determining the relationship of Rho GTPases and the regulation of T cell morphology [ 25 51 52 ] .
