Abstract excerpt
Lymphokine-activated killer cells appear to arise from precursor cells bearing natural killer (NK) cell antigens. Cyclosporin (CsA) is a well-known immunosuppressive agent that can down-regulate NK cell cytotoxicity. Studies were initiated to evaluate the effects of CsA on splenocytes before and after exposure to recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2). Normal C57BL/6 mice receiving CsA at a dose of 100 mg/kg...
