How can you use “nk” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Maximum enhancement of NK mediated cytotoxicity was observed with a combination of IL-12 and IL-2, the effect of the two cytokines together being additive [ 2 ] . Another study revealed that cytokine stimulated NK cells use both granzyme/Fas ligand pathways of apoptotic induction to mediate cytotoxicity [ 3 ] and it was found that IL-2 and IL-12 both increase induction in mRNA coding for perforin/ granzymes A and B [ 4 ] . Hence the importance of both these cytokines in enhancing cytotoxicity cannot be overlooked.
As this was one of the most striking differences seen between fetal and adult stages, we repeated this analysis adding antibodies against B220 and NK1.
By contrast, in humans, we found NK-ir perikarya located in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, in which in the cat no immunoreactive cell bodies were found [ 15 ] . The differences observed in both species concerning the distribution of cell bodies containing NK could be due to technical considerations, since in the cat colchicine was administered in the fourth ventricle in order to accumulate the peptide in cell bodies [ 15 ] .
For example, it has been shown that γ/δ-TCR +lymphocytes from SSc patients recognize and lyse endothelial cells at a significantly higher rate then γ/δ cells isolated from control subjects [ 16 ] . Also, a recent study indicates that γ/δ-TCR +bearing lymphocytes play an important role in immune response of immunosuppressed transplant recipients to CMV infection [ 37 ] . NK cells, natural antibodies, and complement, potentially important in controlling CMV infection, await further study.
This difference at the TN1 stage is not due to the presence of more B or NK cells in the adult thymus.
