title: [Effect of interleukin-2 on apoptosis and function of human lymphocytes in in-vitro cytostatics culture].
abstract: In vitro experiments were conducted to determine the impact of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on apoptosis and function of cytostatic-cultured lymphoid (mononuclear) cells (MNC) of peripheral blood from healthy subjects and children with cancer. Neither slight or any effect on vepesid-16 or carboplatin--cultured MNC apoptosis, nor any phytohemagglutinin--induced proliferation was found. By contrast, in carboplatin- cultured MNC from healthy subjects, IL-2 significantly potentiated their toxicity for tumor cells by producing interferon-gamma. It was concluded that IL-2 predominantly supported MNC functional activity rather than inhibited lymphoid MNC apoptosis in in vitro culture with cytostatic drugs.
