ABSTRACT
The recombinant human fusion protein GM-CSF/LIF was used to study the effects of different doses rhGM-LIF, rhGM-CSF,rhLIF,and rhGM-CSF plus rhLIF on tumor cells in our paper. The results showed that rhGM-LIF induced myeloid leukemia cells differentiation and inhibited the growth of the cells significantly. Its effect was dose-related, more significantly than rhGM-CSF,rhLIF,and rhGM-CSF plus rhLIF in some dose range. It is important that rhGM-LIF can inhibit the growth of human liver cancer cell. The rhGM-LIF might be a useful recombinant protein for tumor thera-py.
ABSTRACT
Ribs were obtained from 110 individuals undergoing thoracostomy. Bone marrow from these ribswas cultured on agar plates. The average number of cell colonies formed on the agar plates was 164?10.4/2?105 nucleated cells (33.4+-571.6/2?105 nucleated cells). Factors which might affect theculture were counting method for the mono-nucleated cells, the method of cell separation, and the use of horse serum.
