Characterization of novel natural killer (NK)–cell and γδ T-cell lines established from primary lesions of nasal T/NK-cell lymphomas associated with the Epstein-Barr virus

Abstract excerpt

Studies on nasal T/natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma have been hampered by its tendency to cause necrosis. Thus, the establishment of cell lines of this neoplasm would seem to be valuable. This study attempted to establish cell lines from primary lesions of this tumor, and successfully obtained 2 novel Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive cell lines, SNK-6 and SNT-8, by means of high-dose recombinant interleukin 2....
