Studies on Capability of Esculentoside(ES) in Inducing Lympho-kines and Its Antitumor Activities / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Es inducing human spleen cells in 30 cases were studied. We found that Es could not only induce IFN-? from human spleen cells, but also IL-2 and LT. The mixed lymphokines containing IFN-?(3269.6?1634.4 U/ml), IL-2 (64.8?40.8 U/ml) and LT (54.4?44.6 U/ml) were induced by ES. Our study shows that the mixed lymphokines appeared to be cytotoxic to human SMMC-7721, SPC-3, HcLa, Jutkat arid Molt-4 cells lines at all levels, but it had no cytotoxic effect to normal cells (WISH cells).
