Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to assess the basis for the diminished natural killer (NK) lymphocyte activity of neonates. We found either severely reduced (63% of 68 neonates) or normal (similar to healthy adult) levels of NK activity. The percentages of cord blood mononuclear cells from the two groups of infants that expressed CD16, a differentiation antigen found in NK cells, were similar and within the range...
