Cytolysis of fibroblasts by C3a
Abstract
C3a was found to be more cytolytic to transformed than to primary fibroblast cultures from mouse and man. Fibroblasts made quiescent with caffeine were lysed by the same concentrations of C3a as untreated cells. These findings may have implications in tumour immunity.
