To evaluate the effects of continuous intraportal chemotherapy on tumor immunity of the liver, natural killer (NK) cell activity was estimated in the rat liver. In an in vitro study, NK-enriched mononuclear cells collected from rat liver were incubated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) alone and with a 5-f

Natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell activity were determined in three groups (newly diagnosed [n = 211, on therapy [n = 211, and off therapy [n = 181) of children with various types of malignant solid tumors and in a control group (n = 26) by means of Leu-7 and Leu-llb monoclonal antibodies and a
## Abstract Nonβtoxic concentrations of retinoic acid (RA) inhibited the spontaneous activity of human natural killer (NK) cells. RA also inhibited the activation of human NK cells by treatment with partially purified human leukocyte interferon (HulFNΞ±) or with inducers of IFNΞ± and IFNΞ³. Full expre
The possible effect of IL-2, a,P-IFN and poly I:C (an IFN inducer) administration on the generation of NK cells of LI and BM-reconstituted animals was investigated. B6D2FI mice were LI (9.5 Gy) by total-body irradiation and reconstituted by i.v. injection of different doses (ranging from lo6 to 2 x
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
