Recent investigations pointed out that various disorders of immune function can be observed in patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PV). Accordingly, several data indicate disturbancies of the humoral immunity in this disease, which can be considered as an increase of B-lymphocyte activity [1,4,8,10].
Although the antigen-specific receptors of T and B lymphocytes have been characterized, the receptors used by natural killer cells to recognize normal cells, tumors, and virus-infected cells have remained elusive. Recently, experimental systems have been developed to identify these structures, and c
In the past year, natural killer cells have been the subject of much active investigation. The analysis of the effect of cytokines on the generation, proliferation and function of natural killer cells, and the definition of the lymphokines that they produce, have been particularly important areas of
