(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) describes the cell-killing ability of certain lymphocytes, which requires the target cell being marked by an antibody. Lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity, on the other hand, does not have to be mediated by antibodies.
Three groups of cytotoxic T lymphocytes are distingushed: antigenic (immunized) T lymphocytes, killer cells, and natural killer cells.

| Thumbnail | Description & Credit |  | Anti-cancer drugs can now be tested on human cancer cell lines in vitro for cytotoxicity and effectiveness without the use of animals. In an assay color changes in the wells show what proportion of cultured cancer cells remain alive after they have been exposed to the test drug. The plates are read by computer, and results are automatically sent to a centralized computer where they are converted into graphic reports. Credit: Bill Branson (photographer). |
