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) activity was investigated in 61 patients with Stage I11 and IV Hodgkin's disease during the course of disease and in 30 healthy age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The mean NK activity was significantly lower (P < 0.001) in untreated patients and in patients in the active pha
## BACKGROUND. Natural cytotoxicity mediated by natural killer (NK) cells is believed to play an important role in host anticancer defense mechanisms. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic significance of NK cell activity after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. #
