Depression of natural killer cell activity by syphilitic serum and immune complexes.
Consecutive serum samples were obtained from patients with syphilis before and on three occasions after treatment. The sera contained immunosuppresive factors associated with the immunoglobulin fraction, which could depress the natural killer cell activity of healthy controls. There was no evidence that allogeneic or lymphocytotoxic antibodies played a role in immuno-suppression, which could be...
متن کاملNatural killer cell activity in adolescents with major depression.
An increasingly large body of work in adults has shown that derangements in the immune system, a critical protector from disease, are associated with stress, bereavement, and depression (for review, see Schleifer et al 1986, Calabrese et al 1987). We (Kronfol et al 1989) and others (Mohl et al 1987; Nerozzi et al 1989; Irwin et al 1990) have reported lower natural killer (NK) cell activity, a p...
متن کاملThe human natural killer cell immune synapse.
Inhibitory killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) at the surface of natural killer (NK) cells induced clustering of HLA-C at the contacting surface of target cells. In this manner, inhibitory immune synapses were formed as human NK cells surveyed target cells. At target/NK cell synapses, HLA-C/KIR distributed into rings around central patches of intercellular adhesion molecule-1/lymphocyte function-ass...
متن کاملMode of regulation of natural killer cell activity by interferon
Whereas xenogeneic tumors such as baby hamster kidney or HeLa cells grow in nude mice, the same cells persistently infected with a variety of viruses are rejected. Spleen cells from normal nude mice were found to be induced to produce interferon and to exert natural killer (NK) activity on virus persistently infected (PI) tumor cells, and not on uninfected parental cells in vitro. The phenotype...
متن کاملModulation of Natural Killer Cell Activity
Natural killer (NK) cells are a heterogenous subpopulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) that have the ability to kill various tumors and tumor cell lines in the absence of prior sensitization. These cells have generated considerable interest and have been implicated in natural resistance to tumors,'-5 resistance to viral infection:-7 transplantation rejection,'** and immunoregulation o...
