Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is regarded as an important mechanism by which monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can exert an antitumour effect in vivo. It may be possible, therefore, to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of mAb by cytokines that are able to enhance the ADCC of human CD3-, CD56+, CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells. We investigated in vitro the effects of recombinant interferon alpha (rIFN...
