Abstract
Murine peritoneal macrophages, on treatment with TNF (10 U/ml) for various durations, showed enhanced cytotoxicity against tumor target cells. The macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity was significantly enhanced when TNF-primed macrophages were treated with cisplatin, LPS, FK-565 or interferon-gamma for 24 h, compared to unprimed and treated macrophages. TNF-primed macrophages also showed enhanced expression of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor activities on activation with different biological response modifiers.
