Example sentences for: inducibility
How can you use “inducibility” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We next attempted to restore IFNg inducibility of MHCII in poorly responding tumor cell lines by adding PKC agonist PMA into culture medium containing variable concentrations of IFNg.
These results underscore the similarity between trans-silencing and paramutation, because in both cases epialleles are often silenced incompletely and may also adopt novel regulatory patterns [ 4 10 ] , for example light inducibility [ 33 ] . Perhaps, silencing at the dimeric E82 locus involves a hierarchical relationship between its two intact T-DNAs.
A substantial percentage of human tumors lose the expression of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb), important as a necessary condition for IFNg-mediated induction of MHCII [ 21 ] . Therefore, we wished to determine whether the poor IFNg inducibility of MHCII in LS1034, MSTO-211H and HepG2 cell lines could be explained by the loss of Rb.
This possibility appears particularly important since the specific lack of CIITA inducibility was cited as the most common basis for lack of IFNg-induced MHCII expression among Rb-positive human tumor lines [ 13 21 ] .
Another reported mechanism of IFNg resistance in tumor cells is associated with down-regulation of IFNg-receptors [ 38 ] . The relevance of this mechanism to MHCII inducibility was recently supported by the evidence that PMA is able to enhance IFNg-dependent MHCII expression in THP-1 human leukemia cells through the up-regulation of IFNg receptors [ 19 ] . In our experiments, however, the incubation of LS1034 cells with PMA and ethanol did not lead to any changes in IFNgR expression as determined by flow cytometry (Figure 4).
