Abstract excerpt
The activation of human natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity by interleukin 2 (IL-2) is well established, although the biochemical mechanisms of this stimulation have not yet been fully delineated. Earlier, we reported that treatment of NK cells with an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase such as compactin or lovastatin significantly abrogates the in vitro killing of a...
