Lethal giant larvae-1 deficiency enhances the CD8(+) effector T-cell response to antigen challenge in vivo.

abstract：:The effect of serum on LPS-induced activation of a murine macrophage-like cell line, WEHI-3, was examined. Foetal calf serum strongly inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-alpha by LPS-stimulated WEHI-3 cells, while it enhanced the production of both by other macrophage-like cell lines, J774.1 and BAM3...
