IL15 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Now, we investigated the interaction among OCs, IL-15-stimulated NK cells and CSCs to understand whether NK cells can interfere with the pro-metastatic crosstalk between OCs and CSCs.<h4>Methods</h4><i>In vitro</i> co-cultures of autologous OCs, NK cells and spheres enriched for CSC from NSCLC A549 cell line (A549/s) were set up both on plastic and bone slices, and OC activity was evaluated through quantification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and of resorption area.
