## Abstract It has been previously demonstrated that human carcinomas express interleukinβ2 receptor (ILβ2R) Ξ±, Ξ², and Ξ³ chains. The Ξ² and Ξ³ chains of ILβ2R have intermediate binding affinity for ILβ2 and are responsible for the intracellular signaling cascades after ILβ2 stimulation. ILβ2RΞ± lacks
Using chorio-allantoic membranes (CAMs) of chick embryos and severe-combined-immunodeficient (SCID) mice, we investigated the effects of urokinase-type plasminogenactivator receptor (u-PAR) over-expression on the process of invasion and tumorigenicity. By the transfection of u-PAR cDNA, 3 u-PAR-over
Cytokines are directly cytotoxic to tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and interleukinla (ILla) potentiates the cytotoxicity of a number of clinically active drugs in several human tumor cells, including carcinomas of the breast and ovary. In this study, we found that ILla potentiated the cytotoxicit
