Effect of Gl-BSP-treated serum of S180-bearing mice preincubated with cytokine-neutralizing antibodies on the proliferation of S180 and PG cells (n = 10, ).
Group | Inhibitory ratio (%) |
|
---|---|---|
S180 | PG | |
Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum alone | 55.6 ± 1.7 | 45.1 ± 2.4 |
Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum + anti-TNF-α | 32.5 ± 1.2*** | 29.0 ± 4.0*** |
Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum + anti-IFN-γ | 45.0 ± 2.4*** | 34.1 ± 3.0*** |
Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum + anti-TNF-α + anti-IFN-γ | 11.3 ± 0.9*** | 15.8 ± 3.3*** |
Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum of S180-bearing mice preincubated with or without various cytokine-neutralizing antibodies (anti-TNF-α, 150 ng ml−1, and/or anti-IFN-γ, 150 ng ml−1) at 37°C for 90 min before addition to S180 or PG cells cultures. Data are the mean ± SD of 3 separate experiments. ***P < 0.001 vs. Gl-BSP 200 mg kg−1-treated serum.
