title: [The study of effects of immunologic modifier on proliferation and cytotoxicity against HEP-2 of LAK cells in vitro].
abstract: Adoptive immunotherapy as a new approach has been used to treat advanced carcinoma for almost ten years, and gained some good results. However, the application of this method is largely restricted by the side effects along with high dose of IL-2 and lack of sufficient amount of LAK cells. Mycobacterial Polysaccharides (MPS) and anti-CD3 antibodies (CD3Ab) have been demonstrated to be effective immunologic modifiers capable of proliferating lymphocytes and increasing cytotoxity against tumor cells. In this article we discussed the effects of MPS and CD3Ab on proliferation and cytotoxity against HEP-2 cells of LAK cells. Our results showed that: 1. MPS group (incubating IL-2 2 x 10(5)/L plus MPS 0.4 mg/L) or CD3 group (IL-2 1 x 10(6)/L plus CD3Ab 4 mg/L) were more proliferative than LAK group (only incubated with IL-2 1 x 10(6)/L). MPS group is the most proliferative in the three groups, P < 0.05. 2. Cytotoxity against HEP-2 in MPS or CD3 group was also better than in LAK group. CD3 group could maintain good cytotoxity in the longest period. These results could provide guidance for adoptive immunotherapy assisted by MPS or CD3Ab.
