Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Natural killer (NK) cells can kill tumor cells in a non-MHC-restricted manner. However, cancer cells frequently escape from the attack of NK cells by multiple ways. In this study, we investigated the effect of gefitinib on the interaction between NK cells and lung cancer cells. METHODS: ⁵¹Cr release assay, CD107a assay, and IFN-γ secretion assay were performed to detect the sensitivity of lung cancer...
