BIOL 2520 Study Guide - Axoneme, Interleukin 2, Microtubule
Document Summary
Independent locomotion simply refers to the ability of a cell to move on its own, without help from other cells. It is different from coordinated movement of groups of cells, such as that seen by muscle cells, which work as a group. But some cells lack centrioles, and the microtubules are then nucleated in other, less distinct mtocs. The nature of nexin"s attachment to the doublets is not fully understood. Some studies have indicated that it breaks contact as the dyneins walk, while others suggest it stretches. Without a full story, all that you need to know right now is that nexin assists in keeping the doublets of the axoneme together. For immunotherapy, we harvest cells from tumours, then treat them with il2. after treating with il2, the tumour cells convert to immuno- responsive cells. Then we re-introduce these cells back to body. We harvest and culture the tumour cells along with some cells closely associated with the tumour.
