How can you use “ctl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
One mechanism by which tumors evade immune destruction is through cytokine production or induction [ 1 ] . Prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2), constitutively produced by many NSCLC has been identified as one factor that has direct immunosuppressive properties and is known to induce IL10 in mononuclear cells [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] . IL10 is a dominant immunosuppressive cytokine found in the NSCLC environment known to directly affect T cell-mediated immunity [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] . Both PGE-2 and IL10 have been shown to suppress antigen presentation, to suppress cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses, and to inhibit cytokine production by T cells and antigen presenting cells, perhaps most importantly IL12, that plays a central role in initiation and potentiation of cellular immune responses [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] , [ 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 ] . We asked whether PGE-2 levels and/or IL10 levels were elevated in plasma of NSCLC patients, whether monocytes from NSCLC patients produce more IL10 than normals, and whether there was correlation within our findings.
CTL clones were selected directly from patient PBMC samples without enrichment in culture to closely reflect the composition of the antigen-specific T cell response in vivo at the time of isolation.
Comparing the pre-intervention and intervention periods, the TM group exhibited a mean total reduction of 6.4 absentee class periods compared to an increase of 4.8 in the CTL group ( F 1,33 = 4.2, p < .05, see Table 2for means).
There is a relative increase in the memory cell repertoire [ 17 18 19 20 ] , and an increase in absolute counts in the CD8 +CD28 -populations in both aged [ 22 ] and HIV +donors [ 22 23 24 25 ] . The CD8 +CD28 -T cell in the HIV +state appears to be the major cytotoxic T cell (CTL) [ 26 ] , but curiously, has shortened telemer lengths as well [ 27 ] .
As depicted in Table 2, the TM group exhibited a mean total reduction of 0.1 rule infractions over the four months of intervention compared to an increase of 0.3 infractions in the CTL group ( F 1,38 = 5.4, p < .03).
