Induction
of ADCC by the sera of immunized mice. ADCC assay using
MCF-7 (A) and KB (B) cells as target. Three groups of Swiss mice
were immunized with PBS, BTAA alone, or BTAA combined with NLP
weekly for 4 weeks. Seven days after the last injection, sera
from individual mice were collected and tested in ADCC assays.
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were used as effector
cells and tumor cells (MCF-7 and KB) were used as target. (C)
ADCC assay using MCF-7 as target and sera obtained by immunization
through different routes. Swiss mice were immunized with BTAA
and NLP through s.c., i.v. or i.p. routes weekly for 4 weeks.
Seven days after the last injection, sera from individual mice
were collected and tested in ADCC assays. Data obtained by using
an E:T ratio of 10:1 and immune sera diluted 1:100 is presented.
Each data represents the mean value ± 1 SD. *Significantly
higher as compared to other values (P < 0.001).
