title: [Lethal effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes against U266 cells induced by DCs modified with GM-CSF gene and pulsed with tumour antigen].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the lethal effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes against U266 cells induced by DCs pulsed with multiple myeloma (MM) U266 lysate and transfected with GM-CSF recombinant adenovirus. The cytotoxic lymphocytes against U266 cells were induced by culturing with DCs, which pulsed with MM U266 antigens and transfected with GM-CSF recombinant adenovirus. The effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes against U266 cells were measured by LDH release detection. Experiments were divided into 3 groups: N-DC group as control in which DCs were normal; U-DC group in which DCs were pulsed by U266 soluble antigen, and G-U-DC group in which DCs were stimulated by U266 soluble antigen and GM-CSF transfected with Ad-CMV. The results showed that there was significant difference on killing rate against U266 cells between 3 groups (F = 10.939, p < 0.05). The killing rate of G-U-DC group was the highest (p < 0.001), and killing rate of U-DC group was higher than that of N-DC group (p < 0.001). It is concluded that the cytotoxic lymphocytes against U266 cells can be induced by DCs pulsed with U266 lysate, and the lethal effect of CTLs can be enhanced when DCs transfected by recombinant adenovirus with exogenous gene GM-CSF.
