Fig. 3From: Epithelial ovarian cancer stem-like cells expressing α-gal epitopes increase the immunogenicity of tumor associated antigensSKOV3-gal cells were killed by human peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes (PBMC) from ovarian epithelial cancer patients via antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). a The relative cell growth of both SKOV3 cells and SKOV3-gal cells were assayed after culturing with different dilutions of serum supplying anti-gal Abs from ovarian epithelial cancer patients for 24 h. Data represent means ± standard error, P > 0.05. b The cytotoxicity of PBMC and serum to both SKOV3-gal cells and SKOV3 cells was detected by MTT assays. Data represent means ± standard error, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
