title: [The effects of IFN-gamma on the antitumor abilities of immunocytes and chemotherapeutic agents].
abstract: We studied the effects of IFN-gamma in immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy. The effects of IFN-gamma on TIL and LAK cytotoxicities on K562 tumor cell line and MKN45 gastric cancer tumor were observed. The antitumor effects of 5 chemotherapeutic agents with or without IFN-gamma on SGC7901 gastric cancer cell line were evaluated. The results showed that: (1) IFN-gamma obviously enhanced the cytotoxicities of TIL and LAK on 2 cell line: (2) IFN-gamma also increased the antitumor abilities of 5 agents on SGC7901 cell line. The study suggested that IFN-gamma is useful in immunotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy as an important immunomodulating agent.
