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.
Cytotoxic T cells. Cytotoxic T cells (TC cells, or CTLs) destroy virally infected cells and tumor cells, and are also cause much of the damage in in transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. These cells are also known as CD8+ T cells since they express the CD8 glycoprotein at their surface.
