Example sentences for: lymphocytes
How can you use “lymphocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The adaptive immune response has nearly infinite flexibility: the T and B lymphocytes of the acquired immune system can rearrange the elements of their immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes to create billions of clones with distinct antigen receptors.
The process of membrane vesiculation and MP-release in platelets has been shown to require a calpain-dependent dissociation of membrane proteins from the submembrane cytoskeleton and most likely involves intracellular signaling by platelet protein kinases [ 10 ] . Besides platelets stimulated by various agonists such as thrombin with collagen or the complement complex C5b-9 [ 7 11 ] , a release of PS-containing membrane MP was demonstrated in other cell types such as endotoxin-stimulated monocytes [ 12 ] , polymorphonuclear leucocytes stimulated with the chemotactic peptide FMLP [ 13 ] or apoptotic T-lymphocytes [ 14 ] . The normal restriction of PS to the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes perturbed in apoptotic cells [ 15 16 ] . When exposed, PS is a determinant for phagocyte recognition of cells to be cleared.
This is in agreement with the reported literature where it has been reported that IL-12 can act only on pre-stimulated cells and has little or no effect on resting lymphocytes [ 27 ] . IL-12 is a cytokine produced to some degree by B lymphocytes but mostly by phagocytic cells including monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, epidermal cells, keratinocytes and dendritic cells which are among the first cells to encounter a foreign antigen during infection in response to bacteria, bacterial products, intracellular parasites, etc [ 2 ] . It was found that IL-12 induced directional migration of highly enriched preparations of NK cells and CD3 activated cells but not resting T cells and monocytes.
In contrast, lymphocytes demonstrate a delayed and lower TTP response and are probably responding to TNF, or other cytokines, produced by myeloid cells.
SCYA17 is a member of the CC group of chemokines that is involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes [ 17 18 19 ] . It is a chemoattractant for T lymphocytes and is expressed constitutively in thymus and transiently in stimulated peripheral blood monocytes [ 20 ] . Interestingly, high levels of expression of SCYA17 were observed in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human monocytes [ 21 ] . Sekiya et al.
