<meta name="description" content="Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte which play a major role in the host-rejection of both cancer cells and cells infected by virus. NK cells carry small granules in their cytoplasm which contain special proteins such as perforin and granzymes. When NK cells release perforin in close proximity to target cells (i.e., tumorous or virus-infected cells), it forms pores in the cell membrane of the target cell through which the granzymes and associated molecules can enter, inducing apoptosis. Cytotoxic activity of NK cells is an important component of innate immunity which provides quick body response to cancerous or virus infected cells before more specialized adaptive immunity is generated. Understanding a drug&rsquo;s effect on the cytotoxicity of NK cells is thus an important part of immunotoxicity studies aimed at identifying potential immunosuppression.">

Introduction</h2><p>Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte which play a major role in the host-rejection of both cancer cells and cells infected by virus. NK cells carry small granules in their cytoplasm which contain special proteins such as perforin and granzymes. When NK cells release perforin in close proximity to target cells (i.e., tumorous or virus-infected cells), it forms pores in the cell membrane of the target cell through which the granzymes and associated molecules can enter, inducing apoptosis. Cytotoxic activity of NK cells is an important component of innate immunity which provides quick body response to cancerous or virus infected cells before more specialized adaptive immunity is generated. Understanding a drug&#x02019;s effect on the cytotoxicity of NK cells is thus an important part of immunotoxicity studies aimed at identifying potential immunosuppression.</p></div><div id="ncipr54.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr54_s2_">2. Principles</h2><p>This document describes a protocol for assessing the effect of nanoparticles on the capacity of human natural killer (NK) cells to lyse tumorous target cells under <i>in vitro</i> conditions. In this method, the NK92 cell line is used as the model for natural killer cells, and the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line is used as the model for target cells. Viability of HepG2 cells following the addition of untreated or nanoparticle-treated NK92 cells is monitored in real time using a real-time cell electronic system (RT-CES) [<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr54.ref1" rid="ncipr54.ref1">1</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr54.ref2" rid="ncipr54.ref2">2</a>].</p></div><div id="ncipr54.s3"><h2 id="_ncipr54_s3_">3.

Testing of the &#x0201c;nanoparticles only&#x0201d; sample is recommended to identify potential nanoparticle interference with the RT-CES instrument acquisition system. During validation of gold nanoshells, citrated gold colloids, colloidal silver, iron oxide, PAMAM dendrimers, water soluble fullerene derivatives, TiO<sub>2</sub> particles and conductive materials such as gadolinium and ruthenium, no interference has been observed. Since nanoparticles are washed away before addition of treated NK92 to HepG2 cells, potential source of nanoparticles in wells of E-plates is the release from NK92 (assuming NK92 took up the particles); only highest concentration of nanoparticle is tested for interference; if no interference is observed with the highest tested concentration it is unlikely that lower concentrations will interfere.</p><p><span class="graphic"><img src="/books/NBK604916/bin/ncipr54if1.jpg" alt="top row, assay baseline" /></span> This sample represents assay&#x02019;s baseline</p></div></div></article><article data-type="fig" id="figobncipr54fig2"><div id="ncipr54.fig2" class="figure bk_fig"><div class="graphic"><a href="/core/lw/2.0/html/tileshop_pmc/tileshop_pmc_inline.html?title=Figure%202.%20Example%20of%20raw%20data%20demonstrating%20changes%20in%20HepG2%20cell%20index%20after%20co-incubation%20with%20NK92%20cells.&amp;p=BOOKS&amp;id=604916_ncipr54f2.jpg" target="tileshopwindow" class="inline_block pmc_inline_block ts_canvas img_link" title="Click on image to zoom"><div class="ts_bar small" title="Click on image to zoom"></div><img data-src="/books/NBK604916/bin/ncipr54f2.jpg" alt="Graph of raw data.
