Abstract excerpt
Natural killer (NK) cells are the subject of great current interest because of their possible (in vivo) role in tumour cell surveillance and killing, and because of the potential application of cytokine-modulated NK cells in cancer immunotherapy. In addition, clonal proliferations of NK-associated (NKa) cell populations represent a high proportion of chronic (non-B) lymphoid malignancies and abnormal (both clonal...
