Effect of Elevated Temperature on Cytotoxic Effector Cells

Abstract: Several studies have shown a direct correlation between temperature and immune response. The effect of elevated temperature on cytotoxic effector functions is not well known. In the present study we have investigated the effect of elevated temperatures (38.5 and 40 °C) on cytotoxicity of lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK), monocyte cytotoxicity, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated cytotoxicity, and compared them with results at 37°C. LAK cell cytotoxicity was inhibited s… Show more

“…Thus, in a first order approximation, the photochemical damage spectrum proposed initially by Liang et al19 for CHO cells can be assumed as universal. Photothermal damage takes place when, due to absorption, laser induced thermal loading drives the intracellular temperature up to the cytotoxic level (>43 °C) 20. At such temperatures irreversible protein denaturation takes place and the cell will die either by programmed cell death or immediately, due to trauma.…”

“…In contrast with these results, some others have shown declining killing activity of NK cells to hyperthermia. In 1996 Singh.V showed reducing cytotoxic activity of NK cells at high temperature of 38.5°C [19] . Azocar J. et.al (1982) showed that heat-treated NK cells and K-562 target cells decreased cytotoxic activity of these cells at temperatures 38.5°C and 40°C [14] .…”

“…Shen et al [16] showed that IL-2-activated cytotoxicities of nonadherent cells from adult blood and cord blood could be enhanced in the febrile range (^40°C), and that the activities were significantly decreased by exposure to heat for 60 min at 42°C. Singh et al [19] found that lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell cytotoxicity was significantly inhibited at 40°C incubation as compared with 37°C incubation for 5 days when natural killer (NK)-sensitive K562 cells were used as the target, or was not significantly changed at 40°C incubation when NK-resistant Raji cells were used.…”
