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.
Antigen presentation stimulates T cells to become either cytotoxic CD8+ cells or helper CD4+ cells. Intracellular antigens are produced mainly by viruses replicating within a host cell, though antigens here can also derive from cytoplasmic bacteria or the host cell's own proteins.
