pubmed-article:2090440 | pubmed:abstractText | The in vivo and in vitro influence of MnCl2 on carp pronephros cells was investigated. Increased cytotoxicity against both YAC-1 and P 815 target cells was observed following an intraperitoneal injection of 40, 80, or 120 micrograms MnCl2/g body wt administrated 24 hr prior to the in vitro 51Cr release assay. Similarly, in vitro treatment of carp pronephros cells, at a final concentration of 60 micrograms/culture, resulted in an increase of NK cell activity in both YAC-1 and P 815 target cell lines. However, a significant decrease in this activity was shown with lower doses of MnCl2 (40 and 20 micrograms/culture). | lld:pubmed |
