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].
Natural killer (NK) cell activity against K562 cells was studied in 12 male adults with atopic dermatitis (AD). In a 4-h chromium release microcytotoxicity assay normal NK cell function and its augmentation by interferon (IFN-alpha) were observed in AD patients. Slightly higher NK cell activity was
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
