## Abstract Fresh neoplastic B cells from 14 untreated patients with naturally occurring B‐cell leukemias were found to be susceptible to lysis by human natural killer (NK) cells. The observed lysis of the fresh, non‐cultured, neoplastic B cells was mediated by a population of interferon‐augmentabl
## Abstract Generation of immune responses against B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) has been the aim of several studies that have demonstrated a poor antigen presenting ability of B‐CLL cells and an inconsistent emergence of T cells capable of killing efficiently the leukemic cells. CD1d
## Abstract Cultured cell lines derived from malignant Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐negative B cells, and representative of the more common types of naturally occurring non‐Hodgkin lymphomas and related leukemias, were found to be sensitive to lysis by human natural killer (NK) cells. The observed lysi
