File Title: ITA-11

Description: This document describes a protocol for assessing the effect of nanoparticles on the capacity of human natural killer (NK) cells to lyse tumorous target cells under in vitro conditions. In this method, the NK92 cell line is used as the model for natural killer cells, and the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line is used as the model for target cells. Viability of HepG2 cells following the addition of untreated or nanoparticle-treated NK92 cells is monitored in real time using a real-time cell electronic system (RT-CES).
