Example sentences for: phagocytosis
How can you use “phagocytosis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Increases in PPARγ in RPE cells may be important for handling the lipids generated during the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments [ 24 ] . Since RPE cells generate large amounts of H 2 O 2 during the phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments, there is a possibility that activation of PPARγ may assist in defending the oxidative stress associated with phagocytosis.
In Belize the crushed leaf of Petiveria alliacea is put on the dog's nose to improve its ability to follow a scent [ 109 ] . Kojoroot or Kudjuruk ( Petiveria alliacea ) is considered a charm and a medicine for aches, pain, snakebites and respiratory conditions in Dominica, Bolivia, Columbia, Peru and Eastern Nicaragua [ 16 96 53 108 ] . The plant can stimulate the phagocytosis activity of the reticulo-endothelelial system and has antibacterial effects [ 61 108 ] . The plant contains isoarborinol, isoarborinol-cinnamate and sulphide compounds, which give it a smell of onions or garlic [ 86 50 ] . The strong garlic smell may suggest the various uses of the plant (Doctrine of Signatures), however this aspect was not noted in the meticulous data compiled on Middle America [ 86 ] . It is difficult to assess which medicinal properties of the plant could help in making dogs more alert.
Another type might be clones whose M. tuberculosis gene products are involved in attachment or invasion or increase phagocytosis.
Tat has been shown to down-regulate mannose receptor, EDF-1, CD3-gamma, and TCR/CD3 surface receptor [ 14 ] . Tat reduces mannose receptor levels and promoter activity in mature macrophages and dendritic cells by interfering with the host transcriptional machinery; resulting in decreased levels of surface mannose receptor needed for Ag (mannosylated albumin uptake) or pathogen capture (Pneumocystis carinii phagocytosis), and eventual delivery to MHC class II-containing intracellular compartments [ 15 ] . EDF-1, a gene down-regulated when endothelial cells are induced to differentiate in vitro , was shown to be down-regulated by Tat at the transcriptional level, resulting in the inhibition of endothelial cell growth and in the transition from a nonpolar cobblestone phenotype to a polar fibroblast-like phenotype [ 16 ] .
Other conditions that abet colonization of the CF lung include impairment of the "mucociliary escalator" and macrophage-mediated phagocytosis by the viscous airway secretions.
