Example sentences for: macrophage
How can you use “macrophage” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
When macrophages were incubated with alpha-tocopherol or gamma-tocopherol individually, the macrophage level of alpha-tocopherol was just 10-20% of that of gamma-tocopherol (Figure 3A).
The dominance of IFN-γ over RANKL, which we observed in vitro (1 ng IFN-γ counteracts 200 ng RANKL when simultaneously administered), probably allows this macrophage activation to occur even in the presence of RANKL expressed on circulating, activated T cells [ 20 40 ] . In the bone microenvironment, however, more abundant RANKL produced by osteoblasts/stromal cells may influence certain monocytes to commit to the osteoclast lineage [ 41 42 ] .
Maturation of osteoclasts from their macrophage precursors requires marrow stromal cells or their osteoblast progeny as shown by Udagawa et al [ 23].
BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage; BSA = bovine serum albumin; C/EBP = CCAAT/enhancer binding protein; COX-2 = cyclooxygenase-2; CREB = cAMP response element binding protein; FBS = fetal bovine serum; fMLP = n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine; HBSS = Hank's balanced salt solution; ICAM-1 = intercellular adhesion molecule-1; LPS = lipoplysaccharide; MAP = mitogen activated protein; MIP-2 = macrophage inflammatory protein-2; NF-κB = nuclear factor-kappa B; PBS = phosphate-buffered saline; PI3K = phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase; PKB = protein kinase B; RT-PCR = Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; TBE = Tris borate EDTA; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor alpha
The different kinetics between IFN-γ-mediated macrophage activation (<24 hours) and RANKL-medicated osteoclastogenesis (4-5 days) prompted us to investigate the effects of IFN-γ on RANKL-pretreated cells (Fig.
