Glucose, however, remains one molecule after dissolvation. As a result, the osmolarity of 50 g of glucose in 1 liter of water is approximately equal to 9 g of sodium chloride in 1 liter of water. A milliosmole (mOsm) is 1/1,000 of an osmole. A microosmole (Î¼Osm) (also spelled micro-osmole) is 1/1,000,000 of an osmole.
This process of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against tumor cells is triggered by the interaction of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) portion of the mAb with the Fc receptors on effector cells like natural killer cells, macrophages, Î³Î´ T cells, and dendritic cells.
Effector B cells are called plasma cells and secrete antibodies, and activated T cells include cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells, which carry out cell-mediated responses. The production of effector cells in response to first-time exposure to an antigen is called the primary immune response.
