Co-culturing the NK cells with either EO771 breast adenocarcinoma cells that express MHC-I molecules and Rae-1 or B16F10 melanoma cells that express none of those molecules in vitro (Figure 1—figure supplement 1) resulted in dose-dependent tumor cell death (Figure 1E) and up-regulation of IFN-γ production by the NK cells (Figure 1F). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is melanoma.
