Objective. To determine the ability of T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) to respond to cytokines and to generate immune effector cells. Methods. The numbers and percentages of peripheral blood T and NK cells were examined by 2-color flow cytometr

Natural killer (NK) cells (CD56(+)/CD3(-)) in the circulation of cancer patients were reported to have low NK activity and undergo spontaneous apoptosis. A possible relationship between apoptosis and impaired NK activity was studied by Annexin V-binding and NK-cell assays performed with peripheral b
## Background: In a group of patients with head and neck cancers (h&nc), the expansion of the population of cd3-,cd16+ natural killer (nk) cells in the peripheral blood was studied. ## Methods: Cytofluorimetric analysis of the expression of killer ig-like receptors (kir, namely p58.1, p58.2, p58.
Serum immunoglobulins and the activity of natural killer (NK) cells of 50 epileptic patients (eight with idiopathic generalized epilepsy and 42 with cryptogenic partial epilepsy) and 28 controls have been studied. The values of IgA, IgG and IgM were the same in patients and controls. The NK activity
