Micro-environmental factors in the survival of human B-lymphoma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells retain a high inherent propensity to undergo apoptosis indicating that net growth of the tumour population in vivo is likely to be influenced profoundly by its micro-environment. Here we investigate micro-environmental factors that affect BL-cell survival in vitro. We show that survival, and consequently net production, of tumour cells is enhanced by autocrine factors and, to a greater...
