Abstract
Enriched large granular lymphocytes treated with varying concentrations of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) for varying time periods showed considerably reduced natural cytotoxicity against K-562 target cells. The same cells when activated by lipopolysaccharide, produced substantially less interleukin-1 (IL-1) as compared to cells not treated with PGE2. It is concluded that the inhibition of natural killer (NK) cell activity produced by PGE2 is due to inhibition of IL-1 production by these cells.Entities:
