Expression of membrane-associated lymphotoxin/tumor necrosis factor-beta on human lymphokine-activated killer cells

Jpn J Cancer Res. 1991 Jan;82(1):23-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.1991.tb01740.x.

Abstract

A membrane-associated lymphotoxin (LT)-related molecule was detected on human lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells by flow cytometric analysis. Kinetic analysis revealed that the LT antigenicity on LAK cells appeared at 9 h after the beginning of culture and was maintained thereafter. By autoradiography, the molecular weight of membrane LT was estimated to be 31 kD and/or 62 kD.
