Laboratory investigations support the capability of citrus peel or its major constituents, d-limonene, and also the ability of tea extract or its constituents, tea polyphenols to reduce not only the incidence and tumor size of chemically-induced tumors at several sites [ 4 8 9 17 18 20 22 ] but also the growth of various tumor cells in culture [ 11 33 ] . Both d-limonene, representative of citrus peel, and tea polyphenols, representative of black tea, are known to impact antiproliferative effects, including apoptosis, on neoplastic cells [ 4 34 35 36 37 ] .

It is well established that, besides the MHCII molecules, IFNg can induce susceptible tumors to upregulate the expression of MHC class I antigens [ 43 ] , tumor associated antigens [ 44 ] , costimulatory molecules [ 45 ] , and heat shock proteins [ 46 ] . In addition, IFNg may have antimetabolic and antiproliferative influence on certain types of tumor cells [ 47 ] . It has also been suggested that IFNg may cause responding tumor cells to secrete angiogenesis inhibitors [ 48 ] . As it is not known which of those IFNg effects are missing or restored by PMA in LS1034 cells, a thorough evaluation of the possible clinical implications of our in vitro findings is quite difficult.
