Features of the immune response to DNA in mice II. Participation of B and T cells.

abstract：:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of normal human donors are spontaneously cytotoxic for certain tumour-derived and virus-infected target cells. This so-called natural killing (NK) can be augmented by the action of interferons (IFN) and by IFN-inducers. In this study, we have compared both endogenous and augme...
