Words similar to host-cell
Example sentences for: host-cell
How can you use “host-cell” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Mutant bacteria with a transposon insertion in prfA (DP-L1075) [ 33] adhere to the host-cell surface, and induce their own uptake into a phagocytic vacuole, presumably through low-level expression of the internalins, but cannot escape from the phagocytic vacuole into the cytoplasm.
The innate immune response of Caco-2 cells occurs independently of host-cell differentiation, or of bacterial genotype
Under the conditions tested, we found little difference between responses to wild-type and mutant infections, indicating that nearly all the transcriptional response we observed was due to the initial contact between bacteria and the host-cell surface.
We cannot rule out the possibility that specific alterations in host-cell transcription may have subtle effects by altering the stoichiometry of molecules involved in actin-based motility, but we are not able to detect such subtle changes using the methods described here.
