Example sentences for: factor-alpha

How can you use “factor-alpha” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

IL (Interleukin), LPS (Lipopolysaccharides), MCP-1 (Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), MGBE (Mouse gallbladder epithelial cells), MIP-2 (Macrophage inflammatory protein-2), RANTES (Regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha).
Initially the nomenclature of IL-1 and IL-2 was created to delineate the sequential action of an assumed single macrophage-derived soluble factor (IL-1), which promoted the production of a single lymphocyte-derived factor (IL-2) [ 14 15 25 ] . However, the molecular nature of the LAF activity was never fully elucidated, even after the isolation and identification of multiple mitogen/endotoxin-stimulated macrophage-derived products, such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, IL-18, and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α).
LPS is a major component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and is known to trigger a variety of inflammatory reactions in macrophages and other cells having CD14 receptors [ 7 8 ] . In particular, LPS is known to stimulate the macrophage secretion of nitric oxide [ 9 ] and inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1-beta) [ 10 ] . For this reason, we also determined if TNF-alpha or IL-1-beta were capable of enhancing the cytotoxic effects of CEES.
