Tumor cells, either untreated or pretreated with IFN-γ, were evaluated by flow cytometry for cell-surface expression of the indicated molecule. Data were expressed as the mean ± SEM of the percentage positive cells and MFI (in parentheses) of 8 (for HLA-A2, ICAM-1), 4 (for LFA-3), and 12 (for Fas) separate experiments. Staining with the appropriate isotype control Ab, which ranged from 2 to 10%, was subtracted from the values shown above. Data in bold type indicate statistically significant responses, based on comparison with the corresponding untreated preparations. For SW480 cells: HLA-A2: percentage positive cells, p < 0.02; MFI, p < 0.0001; ICAM-1: percentage positive cells, p < 0.0001; MFI, p < 0.0001; Fas: percentage positive cells, p < 0.0001. For SW620 cells: HLA-A2: MFI, p < 0.0001; ICAM-1: percentage positive cells, p < 0.001; MFI, p < 0.001; Fas: percentage positive cells, p < 0.005.
