Abstract
Antiproliferative activity induced by vinorelbine (VRB) was studied in whole blood cultures (WBC) and in lymphocyte subpopulations evaluated by the MAC (morphology-antibody-chromosome) method. In WBC a significant delay in cell cycle kinetics in VRB-treated cultures compared with controls (P < 0.001) was observed. The highest dose (1.0 microg/ml) arrested all cells at the first metaphase. Both WBC and isolated lymphocyte cultures showed a significant increase in the mitotic index (MI) in VRB-treated cultures compared with controls (P < 0.001). Moreover, a significant increase in the MI was found in VRB-treated CD4 cells compared with VRB-treated CD8 (P < 0.01) and B-lymphocytes (P < 0.001).Entities:
