title: [Experimental studies on the treatment of recurrent gliomas].
abstract: For the purpose to study reasonable treatment for recurrent gliomas, in vitro immunochemosensitivity tests were performed by using human malignant glioma cell line (ONS-12) and its ACNU-resistant cell line (ONS-12/ACNU), which were established in our laboratory. ONS-12/ACNU cells showed a cross-resistance to Ara-C, but not for cisplatin and methotrexate. The lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells induced in vitro from the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of healthy subjects, showed stronger cytotoxicity to ONS-12/ACNU than ONS-12 cells. From these data, selection of appropriate anti-tumor agents on the in vitro sensitivity tests was a most useful method for the treatment of recurrent gliomas, and the adoptive immunotherapy with LAK cells may be useful for ACNU-resistant gliomas.
