 note = {Healthy human peripheral mononuclear cells cultured with bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) alone produced cytotoxic factor that lysed L.P3 murine fibroblast cells after 2 hours of culture, and the production reached a peak after 24 to 48 hours. Since L.P3 cells are sensitive both to tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) and lymphotoxin (TNFβ), specific antibodies were used to identify this cytotoxic factor as TNFα, not lymphotoxin. This production of TNFα was shown to be derived from monocytes, because it disappeared after monocytes were depleted from mononuclear cells. Tumor necrosis factor induced with BCG may be a factor in the anti-tumor effect of topical therapy with BCG.},
