Abstract:
:Brain tumors were induced in inbred Fischer rats (F344) by administration of methylnitrosourea in the drinking water. One of the induced tumors, a pleomorphic glioma (78-219), was established in vitro and propagated as 78FR-G-219 permanent cell line. The tumorigenicity of the established line was investigated by intracerebral or subcutaneous inoculation of 1X10 (6) - 10X10(6) cells. Lymphocytes infiltrating secondary tumors (TIL) were enriched by a single step centrifugation on different discontinuous Percoll density gradients, while blood lymphocytes (PBL) and lymphocytes from spleen and lymph node (SL and LNL) were enriched by Ficoll - Isopaque flotation. The reactivity spectrum of the isolated lymphocytes raised against cultured 78FR-G-219 cells was monitored by means of two different assays: Lymphocyte microcytotoxicity test (LMC) and colony inhibition assay (CIA). Reactivity of PBL, SL and LNL of glioma-bearing animals was clearly reduced, while TIL showed no natural killer (NK) activity, no cytotoxicity against syngeneic 78FR-G-219 pleomorphic glioma cells and no colony inhibition in mixed lymphocyte/target cell cocultivation. NK activity of TIL was only slightly reduced against target cells of a non-cross-reacting syngeneic astrocytoma line (78FR-G-299).
