Abstract excerpt
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induced cell death in five oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) lines. Cell death was specific to IFN-gamma treatment and did not occur with either IFN-alpha or TNF-alpha. IFN-gamma did not induce typical apoptotic phenotype in cells, such as morphological changes and DNA ladder formation. Caspase-3 was partially activated by IFN-gamma. Protein levels of molecular chaperones were...
