Previous studies established that the high density (resting) natural killer (NK) cell subset (R-NK) of peripheral blood NK cells is unresponsive to interleukin-2 (IL-2) but can be induced to proliferate when cultured with gamma-irradiated malignant melanoma (MM-170) cells or mitomycin-C-treated a...
