Abstract

Natural cell‐mediated cytotoxicity in rats as well as in mice has been shown to vary consistently with age, with peak levels detectable at 5–10 weeks. The levels of cell‐mediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells could be augmented in strains of inbred rats with either high or low levels of natural reactivity, by IP injection of a variety of agents, including C. parvum^3^, LCMV, KRV, and poly I:C. The specificity of the augmented cytotoxicity appeared to be the same as the specificity of natural killer cells which are found in normal rat spleen cells. Similarly, the cells mediating the augmented cellular cytotoxicity were small, non‐adherent, esterase‐negative lymphocytes with Fc receptors, as are rat NK cells. The kinetics and organ distribution of the augmentation of NK activity by poly I:C and C. parvum were compared and the kinetics were found to differ, with a shorter time course of augmented activity seen after inoculation with poly I:C. These data indicate that interferon may play a central role in the augmentation of NK activity in vivo.
