Macrophages can recognize and kill tumor cells bearing the membrane isoform of macrophage colony-stimulating factor.

NBXFO hybridoma cells produced both the membrane and secreted isoforms of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Murine bone marrow cells stimulated by the secreted form of M-CSF (sM-CSF) became Mac1+, Mac2+, Mac3+, and F4/80+ macrophages that inhibited the growth of NBXFO cells, but not L1210 or P815 tumor cells. In cytotoxicity studies, M-CSF activated macrophages and freshly isolated ...

How Do Lymphocytes Kill Tumor Cells?1

Introduction The combined modalities of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery have had a significant impact on cancer mortality. Still, nearly 50% of the adult victims of cancer die of their disease as a result of primary or acquired resistance (1 ). The enormously diverse immune system, able to generate specific soluble and cell-mediated responses to as many as lO ligands, has had strong int...

Irradiation Can Selectively Kill Tumor Cells while Preserving Erythrocyte Viability in a Co-Culture System

An understanding of how to safely apply intraoperative blood salvage (IBS) in cancer surgery has not yet been obtained. Here, we investigated the optimal dose of 137Cs gamma-ray irradiation for killing human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2), gastrocarcinoma (SGC7901), and colonic carcinoma (SW620) tumor cells while preserving co-cultured erythrocytes obtained from 14 healthy adult volunteers. HepG2, SGC...
