NK cells are lymphocytes in the non-adaptive immune system that protect the body against intracellular pathogens and eliminate tumor cells. Tributyltin (TBT) is a toxic chemical that has been detected in human foods as well as in human blood. The role of TBT in immunosuppression has been described,

Exposure of osteoblast-like MC3T3-El cells to sodium arsenite (arsenite) increased the level of heat shock protein 27 (hsp27). The effect of arsenite was dose-dependent in the range of 50 to 200 pM. Arsenite also stimulated arachidonic acid release dose-dependently in the range between 50 and 200 pM
