Words similar to pneumocytes
Example sentences for: pneumocytes
How can you use “pneumocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The observation that cells reacted with the ATPase 6 gene probe are located in these two areas suggests that type II pneumocytes and Clara cells are the cell types that over-expressed the ATPase 6 gene.
Since the SP-B gene is known to be expressed only in type II pneumocytes and Clara cells, the results suggest that these two types of cells are over-expressing the ATPase 6 gene in response to P. carinii infection.
Although it is not certain whether P. carinii organisms attach to type II pneumocytes, type II pneumocytes do respond to P. carinii infections.
This possibility is consistent with the nature of type II pneumocytes, as they are known to be long-lived in culture [ 32].
These results strongly indicate that type II pneumocytes and Clara cells are the sources of ATPase 6 over-expression during P. carinii infection.
