Abstract
We have demonstrated that the relative contribution of secreted and me mbrane-associated proteins to the cytotoxicity of LAK cells depended o n LAK cell phenotype: the cytotoxicity of CD16(+) CD8(+) CD3(-) LAK ce lls was associated mainly with membrane-bound proteins, and the activi ty of CD3(+) CD8(+) CD16(-) LAK cells was due mainly to secreted solub le proteins. The cytotoxic activity of membrane fractions of LAK cells against cell line L929 was determined by 40-, 32- and 21-kDa proteins for LAK cells bearing NK-specific markers and due to proteins of 34 a nd 21 kDa in the case of 'CTL-like' LAK-cells.
