## Abstract Nonβtoxic concentrations of retinoic acid (RA) inhibited the spontaneous activity of human natural killer (NK) cells. RA also inhibited the activation of human NK cells by treatment with partially purified human leukocyte interferon (HulFNΞ±) or with inducers of IFNΞ± and IFNΞ³. Full expre
The possible effect of IL-2, a,P-IFN and poly I:C (an IFN inducer) administration on the generation of NK cells of LI and BM-reconstituted animals was investigated. B6D2FI mice were LI (9.5 Gy) by total-body irradiation and reconstituted by i.v. injection of different doses (ranging from lo6 to 2 x
