How can you use “rankl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Human RANKL was a gift from Immunex (Seattle, USA) and was used to verify the efficiency of GST-RANKL protein as verified by splenic osteoclast induction.
The molecular mechanisms underlying the contrasting effects of IFN-γ and RANKL remain elusive.
The potency of IFN-γ as a macrophage activator and osteoclast inhibitor suggests a prominent role for T cells and/or NK cells in the regulation of bone resorption, as these cells constitute the major source of IFN-γ [ 18 ] . A link between activated T cells and osteoclast inhibition by IFN-γ has been highlighted in a report by Takayanagi et al ., providing the first in vivo evidence that the immune system may influence osteoclastogenesis [ 38 ] . Interestingly, other groups have demonstrated that activated T cells induce osteoclastogenesis via upregulation of surface RANKL, presenting a dilemma regarding the role of activated T cells in osteoclastogenesis [ 20 40 45 ] .
For cultures utilizing lower levels of RANKL and low osteoclast numbers, densitometric quantitation of TRAP was a more sensitive measure of osteoclastogenesis (Fig.
We demonstrate that pre-osteoclasts stimulated with RANKL for 2 days are rendered resistant to the IFN-γ induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, NO production, and upregulation of CD11b and RANK surface expression.
