Even though they possess normal to increased numbers of circulating natural killer (NK) cells, patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) have a functional NK-cell deficiency which is restorable in vitro in the presence of recombinant IL-2. We therefore measured the level of IL-2 production by

Lymphokine-activated killer activity and natural killer activity in hepatocellular carcinoma patients were d. Maximum lymphokine-activated killer activity was induced at 3 to 6 days of incubation, and lymphokine-activated killer activity tended to increase in a manner dose dependent of recombinant i
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
Enriched lymphocytes from patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma showed considerably reduced natural cytotoxicity against two established hepatoma cell lines and against the myelogenous derived cell line K562, as compared to lymphocytes from normal volunteers or from patients with various no
Lymphokine-activated killer cells were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 33 patients with liver tumors (benign, 6; primary malignant, 10; metastatic, 17) and 10 healthy individuals. Although peripheral blood mononuclear cell yield was significantly lower (p < 0.01) in patients wit
