Immunostimulating activities of the novel peptidomimetic L-glutamyl-histamine.

abstract：:We explored the effects of local anaesthetics, which are proposed to affect the plasma membrane, on human natural killer (NK) cells. Human NK cell activity was inhibited by lidocaine and procaine in a dose-dependent manner. Procaine inhibited not only NK cytolysis but also the binding of NK cells to target cells when ...
