"Heat Shock Enhances the Susceptibility of Tumor Cells to Lysis by Lymphokine-Activated Killer Cells."
Published in Cancer Weekly, October 23rd, 1995
According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Archives of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, "Objective: To determine whether heat-treated thyroid cancer cells augment the susceptibility of target cells to lysis by autologous lymphokine-activated killer cells. Design: Peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with thyroid cancer were incubated with recombinant interleukin 2 (100 U/mL) for 7 days, and thyroid cancer cells obtained from surgical specimens were heated at 44(degree)C for 20 minutes and incubated at 37(degree)C for 18 hours before performing the radioactive chromium Cr 51 release assay. Results: The susceptibility of heat-treated...
