How can you use “leukocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
OPN is a secreted glycophosphoprotein expressed by a number of cell types, including leukocytes and epithelial lineages, and it has been implicated biologically in bone development, in immune system regulation [ 6 ] , and in multiple mechanisms through signal transduction via its binding to integrins [ 7 ] . OPN has been detected in primary breast tumors and is elevated in the plasma of patients with metastatic breast cancer [ 8 9 ] , but an association between elevated levels of primary tumor OPN and metastatic burden has not been well established.
In the past, it has not been feasible to study cell populations that were represented at less than 2% of peripheral blood leukocytes such as basophils, eosinophils, or some lymphocyte subsets.
