Abstract
Treatment of human lymphocytes with a physiological amount of medullasin, a serine protease found in bone marrow cells, resulted in the induction of activated killer cells which can lyse both natural killer-sensitive and -resistant target cells. The optimum concentration of medullasin was 20 micrograms/ml when lymphocytes were treated with the protease at 37 degrees C for 60 min. Kinetic studies of the induction revealed that the maximum induction was achieved 24 hr after medullasin treatment.Entities:
