Sensitization of multiple myeloma and B lymphoma lines to dexamethasone and γ-radiation-induced apoptosis by CD40 activation
We examined the effects of CD40 activation with dexamethasone (Dex) or 60Co-γ-irradiation on the growth of malignant B cells in vitro, using the human multiple myeloma (MM) cell line, XG2, and the B lymphoma Daud...
