Studies on the relationship between cell proliferation and cell death: opposite patterns of SGP-2 and ornithine decarboxylase mRNA accumulation in PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes.

abstract：:The phenothiazine antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine, a potent calmodulin antagonist, inhibited human natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibition of natural killer cell activity was not due to interference with conjugate formation, nor was it due to toxicity to the natural kill...
