Abstract:Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte. It is revealed that hyperthermia which is used in cancer treatment, increases natural killer cell activity. In this study, our aim was to analyze effects of in-vitro hyperthermia on human Natural Killer cytotoxicity against SW-872 cell line. Materials and Methods: In this study, we used SW-872 liposarcoma cell line as a target cell. Peripheral blood NK cells were isolated from normal individuals by MACS. NK cells were treated at 39°C for… Show more
