The mechanism of action is based on the activation of macrophages to defend against tumors by direct
tumor cytotoxicity and consequently they secrete cytokines which recruit secondary immune cells, presenting antigen to T cells [5 - 7].

cytotoxicity in vitro and mediated
tumor allograft rejection in vivo.
Similarly, antigen - specific CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells also suppress
tumor - specific CD8 T cell
cytotoxicity although this mechanism relies on TGF - β secretion by regulatory cells 196, 197.

cytotoxicity were more strongly associated with the metastatic process than
tumor - intrinsic factors such as chromosomal instability or cancer - associated mutations.

tumor tissue and had a greater
cytotoxicity.
