Abstract excerpt
Histamine (10(-4) to 10(-7) M) augmented natural killer cell cytotoxicity (NKCC) of human CD16+, non-T lymphocytes in vitro against the NK-sensitive target cells K562 erythroleukaemic, Molt-4 lymphoma, Chang liver cells and against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed, NK-insensitive Daudi B-lymphoblastoid target cells by a mechanism of action involving a prostaglandin- and interleukin 1 (IL-1)-independent...
