Abstract excerpt

Previously we had shown that, upon activation with viable bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) could be rendered cytotoxic against otherwise insensitive natural killer (NK)-resistant bladder cancer cell lines. This phenomenon had been termed the BCG-activated killer (BAK) cell phenomenon. By means of depletion and enrichment procedures of mononuclear cell subpopulations...
