Study on HL-60 cell apoptosis induced by CD3 McAb-activated killer cells in serum-free culture system / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To investigate whether CD3McAb activated killer(CD3AK)cells could induce apoptosis in HL 60 cells in serum free culture system.Methods:HL 60 cells were coincubated with CD3AK cells expanded in serum free medium,then apoptosis was assessed by means of morphological studies,DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytomether(FCM) analysis.Results:After 7 h of coincubation with CD3AK cells in serum free medium,HL 60 cells showed morphological features of apoptosis and typical DNA ladder on gel electrophoresis.FCM analysis showed that 24.59% cells were found to undergo apoptosis.Conclusion:CD3AK cells can induce apoptosis in HL 60 cells under serum free culture conditions.
