Abstract excerpt
As a model for lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) function in HIV infection, we studied LAK cells in cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), which causes an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured in concanavalin A and interleukin-2 developed...
