title: [The in vitro effect of silica fibers on macrophage-mediated cytotoxic activities in mice].
abstract: The in vitro effects of silica fibers on macrophage-mediated cytotoxic activities in mice were studied, including 1) macrophage-mediated tumor cytolysis (MTC), 2) macrophage-mediated tumor cytostasis (MTCS) and 3) antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytolysis (ADCC), we found that silica fibers markedly inhibited both MTC and ADCC but slightly promoted MTCS. Silica fibers were active during the activation phase mediated by macrophage-activating factor as well as in the effector phases of MTC and MTCS. In ADCC, increasing the antibody titer could not abrogate the inhibitory effect of silica fibers.
