The FAs were extracted from the cell-free supernatants at the end of 4 h incubations of the cells.
P815 were labeled with [3H]-oleic acid and allowed to incubate alone for 4 h.
Release of FAs by P815 cells after 2× freeze–thaw cycles.
Redirected lysis was at an effector to target ratio of 8 to 1. For Tc1 cells, 83% of the P815 cells were killed and for Tc2 cells, 67% of the P815 cells were killed. The data are representative of two similar experiments.
Cytotoxic granule extract (0.0574 μg ml−1) was added to P815 targets that were treated with 5 mM 2-deoxyglucose, 1.5 mM NaN3 and 1 mM KCN to increase tumor cell sensitivity to perforin. The lysis by granule extracts was 74%, respectively.
