Abstract
Natural killer cells may play a significant role in virus infections. Virus-induced interferon activates these cells to become highly cytotoxic, and viral infections may also affect the proliferation of such cells. Non-immune mice have an apparently cellular defense mechanism which rapidly lyses implanted virus-infected cells. The evidence for NK cell involvement in viral disease is reviewed.Entities:
