The system had considerable bystander effect.
Since the original experiments, many studies have explored the bystander effect.
AIM: To investigate the mechanism of bystander effect caused by TRAIL gene.
Objective To study the role of bystander effect in the cytocidal activity of TK/GCV against tumor cells.
In addition, the bystander effect can function between cells of different human bladder tumors, and is not restricted to bladder cancer cell of a particular specie.
There are never more than one or two people around at the same time and the bystander effect increases the more people there are to diffuse responsibility to.
Now, I'm no hero but I am familiar with the bystander effect which makes it more likely that I will intervene and also makes me a bad subject from which to draw a more general conclusion.
The sensitivity of transfected cells to GCV and "bystander effect (BSE)" of HRE-TK/GCV system under normoxia or hypoxia conditions were measured by MTT assay and mixed coculture experiment.
We found that the bystander effect is quite robust, that it has declined somewhat in magnitude over time, and that there are certain conditions under which it disappears or is even reversed.
Results MFC cells transduced with CD gene exhibited high sensitivity to 5 FC, especially showed the pronounced "bystander effects".
