Increased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملLymphokine-activated killer cell activity in lung cancer.
This study evaluates local pulmonary immune effector cell lytic activity. Purified lymphocyte populations were isolated from BALF obtained from 18 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, six patients with lung disorders other than cancer, and ten normal control volunteers matched for age and smoking history. These cells were evaluated for NK and LAK cell lytic activity against NK-resistant LAK-se...
متن کاملInterleukin 5 enhances interleukin 2-mediated lymphokine-activated killer activity
IL-5 expresses various biologic effects on several types of lymphocytes, including B cells, eosinophils, and T cells. We demonstrated that the incubation of resting splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice in murine rIL-5 enhances IL-2-mediated lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity against various tumor cells. IL-5 alone, however, does not induce killer activity. IL-2-mediated LAK activity increases ...
متن کاملDefective lymphokine-activated killer cell generation and activity in acute leukemia patients with active disease.
In 26 myeloid and lymphoid acute leukemia patients at presentation the capacity to generate interleukin-2 (IL-2)-induced lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells effective against the natural killer (NK)-resistant Raji cell line, as well as the susceptibility of the blasts to normal peripheral blood (PB) LAK cells and to autologous LAK effectors was analyzed. The overall PB LAK activity against ...
متن کاملLymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
Lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells are a recently described cellular immune phenomenon with exciting potential for the treatment of tumours arising from solid organs. A comparison of some aspects of LAK cell precursors and LAK cell function was undertaken in 44 control subjects and 44 preoperative patients suffering from gastrointestinal cancer (20 localised and 24 advanced). Lymphokine ac...
