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
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) activity was investigated in 61 patients with Stage I11 and IV Hodgkin's disease during the course of disease and in 30 healthy age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The mean NK activity was significantly lower (P < 0.001) in untreated patients and in patients in the active pha
