We have investigated the in vivo antitumor mechanism of natural human tumor necrosis factor (n-TNF) isolated from a culture of human leukemic B cell line (BALL-1), especially its action as an immunomodulator, and found that the in vivo antitumor effect of n-TNF on Meth A sarcoma implanted in BALB/c mice pretreated with monoclonal antibody against T cell-specific surface antigen (Thy-1) was significantly diminished. Furthermore, when BALB/c mice were treated with T cell subset-specific monoclonal antibodies, anti-L3T4 or anti-Lyt-2.2, the antitumor effect of n-TNF on Meth A sarcoma was significantly reduced. Therefore, it was suggested that the in vivo antitumor mechanism of n-TNF might involve a T cell-mediated immunological route.
我们研究了从人白血病B细胞系(BALL-1)培养物中分离出的天然人肿瘤坏死因子(n-TNF)的体内抗肿瘤机制,特别是其作为免疫调节剂的作用,发现n-TNF对用抗T细胞特异性表面抗原(Thy-1)单克隆抗体预处理的BALB/c小鼠体内植入的Meth A肉瘤的抗肿瘤作用显著减弱。此外,当用T细胞亚群特异性单克隆抗体抗L3T4或抗Lyt-2.2处理BALB/c小鼠时,n-TNF对Meth A肉瘤的抗肿瘤作用也显著降低。因此,提示n-TNF的体内抗肿瘤机制可能涉及T细胞介导的免疫途径。
