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

The inhibitory effect of Gleevec on the A549 cells appeared to be in a therapeutic range of the drug as demonstrated in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells from the patients.
Treatment of the cells with Gleevec at two concentrations did not influence the expression of PDGFR-α expression in the cells.
Existing data suggest that Gleevec can exert its inhibitory effect on tumor cells through inhibiting PDGF receptor function, and we have shown that the primary non-small cells lung cancer expressed minimal c-Kit.
Gleevec has been shown to induce clinical, hematological and molecular remissions for CML patients [ 4 ] . It cross-reacts with two other important growth factor receptors containing tyrosine kinase domains, c-kit and PDGF receptors, that play important roles in growth and proliferation of a variety of cell types [ 5 ] . C-kit (also known as CD117) is frequently mutated in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and the mutated c-kit shows higher tyrosine kinase activity.
These results provided important in vitro data to support the notion that Gleevec can inhibit the A549 cell growth and proliferation, and may potentially offer a treatment option for lung cancer either alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy drug cisplatin.
