In this study the role of natural killer (NK) cells in the course of experimental Leishmania major infection was investigated. NK cells in genetically resistant C57BLl6 mice were depleted by in vivo administration of anti-asialo-GM1 or anti-NK1.l antibodies. A marked exacerbation of the infection wa

Natural killer T (NKT) cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are both found within the liver and are known to exhibit immune regulatory functions. Hepatic NKT cells are activated early during inflammatory responses and release cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFN-␥), which we speculated could r
## Abstract Cells with __in vitro__ cytotoxicity against tumor targets in a short‐term ^51^Cr release assay have been recovered from the lungs of mice that were either untreated or injected with biological or synthetic agents 1–3 days earlier. The cytotoxic effector cells were non‐adherent, non‐pha
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is commonly used in biological studies to dissolve drugs and enzyme inhibitors with low solubility. Although DMSO is generally thought of as being relatively inert, it can induce biological effects that are often overlooked. An example that highlights this potential problem
The osteopetrotic, microphthalmic (mi/mi) mouse lacks functional osteoclasts and has also been reported to be deficient in mast cells and natural-killer (NK) cells. The later deficiencies could be secondary to the osteopetrotic marrow, or a direct result of the mi allele. Therefore, heterozygotes we
