Mechanism of the cytostasis mediated by blood unstimulated neutrophils on syngeneic rat colon cancer cells.
Non-activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) isolated from the blood of non-stimulated rats were spontaneously and selectively cytostatic in vitro against a syngeneic colon cancer cell line. In this experimental model, the mechanism of PMN-mediated cytostasis did not depend on oxidative metabolites, but involved soluble factor(s), possibly granule proteases.
