## Abstract This study investigates the effect of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) on the lytic function of human natural killer (NK) cells and on ATP levels in NK cells. NK cells are capable of lysing tumor cells, virally infected cells, and antibodyโcoated cells. HBCD is a brominated cyclic alkane u

Twenty-two normal volunteers had approximately eight, 2-hr-long leukapheresis procedures over a 2-year period and their natural killer (NK) cell function was prospectively measured. The NK activity of the preprocedure peripheral blood (pre-PB) was found to correlate well with the NK activity of the
Monoclonal (IgG) antibodies (MAbs) directed to CD I6 molecules efficiently induced lysis of the IgG-binding P8 I 5 target cells. A similar effect was observed with selected anti-CD2 MAbs. While combinations of 2 appropriate anti-CD2 MAbs were required for induction of T lymphocyte activation, single
## Abstract Nonโtoxic 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 (HulFNฮฑ) or with inducers of IFNฮฑ and IFNฮณ. Full expre
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the role that tributyltin (TBT)โinduced decreases in ATP levels may play in TBTโinduced decreases in the tumor lysing (lytic) function of natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells are a subset of lymphocytes that act as an initial immune defense ag
