Abstract

TNF in sera from BALB/c mice treated with sepia was detected by L929 cell killing assay. Sera of the mice treated with saline were used as control. Results showed a significant TNF -inducing activity of sepia in animals. And the induced sera were also cytotoxic to human cancer cells,such as GM803 and Y99.
