title: The roles of Fas and perforin in LAK T-cell/bispecific antibody-mediated killing of the murine B-lymphoma cells, BCL1.
abstract: The aim of this study was to construct bispecific F(ab')2 [anti-CD3 x anti-BCL1 idiotype (Id)] Abs (BsAbs) which would enable lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) T cells to kill Id+ mouse BCL1 lymphoma cells, and to determine the mechanism(s) underlying cell death. Using 4-day activated LAK T cells from either perforin-knockout mice or FasL-deficient gld mice, we show that the Fas pathway, but not perforin, is required for BsAb-mediated LAK T-cell-induced killing of BCL1 cells.
