Different effects of all-trans-retinoic acid on phorbol ester-stimulated and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated interleukin-2 expression in human T-cell lymphoma HUT-78 cells.

abstract：:To elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), we isolated TNF-resistant sublines of L929 cells. As compared with L929 cells, TNF-resistant cells retained similar number and affinity of TNF-binding sites, and showed a similar growth rate. TNF stimulated arachidonate release from L929 cells, while...
