Abstract excerpt
Human natural killer (NK) cells originate from bone marrow, but little is known about NK cell progenitors and ontogeny. We studied the phenotype and functional activity of NK cells derived from highly purified human bone marrow CD34+ cells, which exhibited neither lytic activity nor expression of surface antigens characteristic of NK (CD56) or T (CD3) cells. However, when cultured with hematopoietic growth...
