β¦ Synopsis
When cultured with native or recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) human small agranular lymphocytes acquire the ability to kill various tumor targets. The development of these IL-2 activated killer (IAK) cells, also known as LAK, is observed in the absence of antigen or mitogen. Interferons are known to 'To whom reprint requests should be sent.

The possible effect of IL-2, a,P-IFN and poly I:C (an IFN inducer) administration on the generation of NK cells of LI and BM-reconstituted animals was investigated. B6D2FI mice were LI (9.5 Gy) by total-body irradiation and reconstituted by i.v. injection of different doses (ranging from lo6 to 2 x
A phase-1/11 study of recombinant interleukin 2 (rll-2) was performed in 31 melanoma patients. The first dose of rlL-2 was given intrasplenically followed 4 hr later by an i.v. dose and 3 further i.v. doses on alternate days. Three courses of treatment were planned at 3-week intervals. The maximum t
