Lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells and cytokines.
In the past year, natural killer cells have been the subject of much active investigation. The analysis of the effect of cytokines on the generation, proliferation and function of natural killer cells, and the definition of the lymphokines that they produce, have been particularly important areas of research in view of their possible application in adaptive immunotherapy, combined with biological response modifiers.
