Uptake and cytotoxicity of citrate-coated gold nanospheres : comparative studies on human endothelial and epithelial cells [PDF]
The use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for diagnostic applications and for drug and gene-delivery is currently under intensive investigation. For such applications, biocompatibility and the absence of cytotoxicity of AuNPs is essential. Although generally

A co-culture model system to quantify antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in human breast cancer cells using an engineered natural killer cell line [PDF]
Summary: Current protocols measure antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vitro using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), but isolation and variability among donors limit the viability and reproducibility of this approach.

From CD16a Biology to Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Improvement
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a potent cytotoxic mechanism that is mainly mediated in humans by natural killer (NK) cells. ADCC mediates the clinical benefit of several widely used cytolytic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and ...

Siplizumab Induces NK Cell Fratricide Through Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity
The glycoprotein CD2 is expressed on T and NK cells and contributes to cell-cell conjugation, agonistic signaling and actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. CD2 has previously been shown to have an important function in natural NK cell cytotoxicity but to be ...

Development of antibody technology to identify natural killer cell surface antigens in Xenopus Laevis [PDF]
Natural killer (NK)-like lymphocytes have recently been identified in thymectomised (Tx) Xenopus which are capable of spontaneous cytotoxicity towards the MHC- deficient, allogeneic thymus tumour cell line B(_3)B(_7).
