The effects of alpha and gamma interferons on human lung cancer cells grown in vitro or as xenografts in nude mice.
We have compared the effects of alpha and recombinant gamma interferons (IFNs) on the growth of human lung cancer cell lines in vitro. There was a diversity of response amongst the lines studied, the most sensitive being COR-L23 (a large cell anaplastic carcinoma line) and POC (a small cell line). I...

Research Article We have compared the effects of alpha and recombinant gamma interferons (IFNs) on the growth of human lung cancer cell lines in vitro. There was a diversity of response amongst the lines studied, the most sensitive being COR-L23 (a large cell anaplastic carcinoma line) and POC (a small cell line).

When lines COR-L23 and POC were grown as xenograft tumours in nude mice, daily injection of 4 X 10(5) units per mouse per day of IFN-gamma produced no discernible retardation of tumour growth. 1985-07 /pmc/articles/PMC1977166/ /pubmed/3925974 Text en |
