Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), lyses a range of sensitive tumor targets and has been shown to be the mediator of natural cytotoxic (NC) activity first described in our laboratory. In this report, we identify two thymic lymphoma cell lines which lyse the prototype NC target WEHI-164 and share characteristics of NC. R1.1E and L5178-27av lyse the WEHI-164 sarcoma in 18-hr 51Cr release assays via a TNF-dependent,...
