[0016] In a second embodiment, the present invention includes a composition comprising (a) a preparation of osteosarcoma cells having about 103, about 109 osteosarcoma cells per milliliter of the cell preparation, and (b) 0.1? between 50. mu.l of peroxide-free arachidonic acid per ml of cell preparation.
[0017] Typically, the preparation of cells will be grown as a monolayer, using an aliquot of cells per well (approximately 1 ml working volume) as in 8.2.times.10.sup.4 2.times.10.sup.6 The protocol described below. Arachidonic acid is typically used in amounts of 1 to 20 μl per well with a working volume of approximately 1 ml.
[0018] When using osteosarcoma microparticles, rather than whole cells, cell preparations generally contain 50 to 500 micrograms per milliliter of cell-prepared microsomal protein. Arachidonic acid is usually used in amounts of 1 to 20. Prepare mu.l acid per ml of cells.
