How can you use “dt-sensitive” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Previously we have described the interaction of the extracellular domain of proHB-EGF with the second extracellular domain of the tetraspanin protein, monkey CD9 [ 9 ] . Tissue culture experiments using DT-sensitive transfected mouse fibroblast cell lines expressing on the cell surface both the monkey DT receptor and chimeric mouse-monkey CD9 antigen showed that the second extracellular domain of monkey CD9 antigen is able to act as a coreceptor for DT and is also responsible for the increased DT-sensitivity and affinity for DT in these cell lines [ 9 ] . These observations suggested that the CD9 antigen and proHB-EGF likely interact physically on the cell surface.
The membrane-bound precursor and soluble forms of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) contribute to a variety of cellular developmental processes [ 1 ] . The observations of HB-EGF in cell and tissue types have suggested roles for HB-EGF in numerous cellular and tissue events such as: cell movement, extracellular matrix formation, tumor formation and cell adherence [ 1 ] . As described above, the membrane-bound precursor of HB-EGF (proHB-EGF) is also the cell-surface receptor for diphtheria toxin (DT) in DT-sensitive cells [ 2 ] .
