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, also called CD8 T-cells, destroy cells that are infected with viruses and tumors. Their T-cell receptors, located on their cell surfaces, are made up of CD8 glycoproteins. They contain pouches, called granules, which are filled with chemicals that kill infected cells on contact.
