Abstract

The comparative investigation of the sensitivity of primary LLC and drug resistant LLC/R9 cells to natural killer cells and macrophages of C57BL/6 intact mice is performed in vitro. It is shown that the forming of a resistance to cisplatin by LLC cells is accompanied by an increase of their sensitivity to the cytotoxic action of natural killer cells and a decrease of the susceptibility to the cytolytic activity of macrophages. High LLC/R9 cell sensitivity to the cytotoxic action of natural killer cells possibly was caused by a diminished expression of MHC class I molecules. Decreased sensitivity of resistant cells to the cytolysis by nonsensitized macrophages was associated with a high ability to undergo autophagy.
