Anti-CD95 MoAb (APO-1/Fas) Potentiates the Pro-apoptotic Effect of L-NAME in B-CLL Cells

Treatment% of Apoptotic Cells
Medium Anti-CD23 MoAb (10 μg/mL) L-NAME (1 mmol/L)
Control  2  19  
Anti-CD95 MoAb  3  1  45

Purified B-CLL cells were resuspended at 1 × 106/mL in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 5% FCS and incubated for 48 hours with or without 10 μg/mL of anti-CD23 MoAb (MoAb135) or L-NAME (1 mmol/L) and in the presence or absence of 10 μg/mL of anti-CD95 MoAb (CH-11; Immunotech). At the end of the culture, the percentages of apoptotic cells were determined as previously. Data are from one representative experiment out of three, performed with freshly collected blood samples.
