## Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes able to kill tumor cells and virus‐infected cells. Human‐resting NK cells can be activated by co‐culture with NK‐resistant CTV‐1a cells. These tumor‐activated cells (TaNKs) are cytotoxic to a range of NK‐resistant tumor cells in vitro.
## 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.
Detection of functional, circulating T cells and NK cells may serve as a clinical test for the selection of individuals who can benefit from immunotherapy. Incidence of the T-cell receptor zeta (TCRdelta) chain within these populations appears to correlate with adequate effector cell function. In pa
