Abstract excerpt
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) directs T helper-1 cell differentiation and mediates antitumour effects in preclinical models. However, high-dose IFN-gamma is toxic in vivo, and IFN-gamma-transfected neuroblastoma (NB) cells secreting high amounts of the cytokine may be lost due to cell apoptosis or differentiation. Two human NB cell lines (ACN and SK-N-BE2(c)) differing as to genetic and phenotypic features were...
