Abstract
The effect of several cytokines on the cytolytic activity of platelets from healthy donors was studied. A human lung adenocarcinoma cell line served as the source of targets. IL-1α and IL-1β in a dose range of 10–100 U/ml increased the activity of initially lowtoxic platelets, and vice versa. An increase of the dose of any cytokine up to 1000 U/ml caused inhibition of cytolysis, irrespective of the initial cytotoxicity of platelets. Unlike the mentioned cytokines, tumor necrosis factor by itself produced a cytotoxic effect on the targets; however, it had no effect on the cytolytic activity of platelets.
