Abstract
A protein-inhibiting LAK cell-mediated cytotoxicity was isolated from a LAK cell-conditioned medium. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of t his protein appeared to be identical to fetal calf fetuin. Pure isolat ed fetuin, as well as commercially available preparations of this prot ein, were shown to inhibit cytotoxic activity of both cytotoxic protei ns released by LAK cells and TNF.
