Abstract
Mistletoe lectins (ML), the major biologically active components of mistletoe extracts, which are used for adjuvant cancer therapy, induce apoptosis in lymphocytes and tumor cells. In addition, ML at toxic concentrations induce the release of cytokines, but it remains unclear as to whether dying or activated cells are responsible.
