Abstract
Recombinant human interleukin 2 (r-IL-2) rapidly stimulated human natural killer cell activity in vitro. Augmentation of NK activity occurred within 1 hr of preincubation with r-IL-2. Responsive killer cells were typical NK cells as shown by cell fractionation procedures. These included Percoll density gradient separation and depletion of OKT3+ T cells by an indirect rosetting method. Analysis with a panel of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against alpha and gamma interferon revealed that this early enhancement of NK activity by r-IL-2 was independent of the production of both types of interferon.Entities:
