Example sentences for: phagocytosis

How can you use “phagocytosis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • It would be unsurprising if different capsular types were differentially effective in permitting pneumococci to evade phagocytosis and other host defenses [31] (M.

  • This approach provides a better opportunity to study the dynamic changes of oxidation and pH in phagolysosomes during phagocytosis, which can not be resolved by conventional biochemical analyses.

  • 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 ] .

  • As a first step in the analysis of the sur2 clone, the time course of its survival in THP-1 macrophages was determined by infecting THP-1 macrophages, lysing the infected macrophages at various times after phagocytosis, and enumerating viable intracellular bacteria by plating on solid medium.

  • RPE cells express all three forms of PPARs but PPARβ is the dominant isoform [ 24 ] . There is a 10-fold induction of PPARγ mRNA that reaches a peak at 4-hour after phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments.
