Abstract

NK cells are CD16, CD56 positive lymphocytes that spontaneously lyse tumor or virus infected cells. In this study we investigated whether IL-2 and/or IL-12 stimulated NK cells increased their lytic efficiency against HOS osteosarcoma cell line. Our results demonstrate that both 18 hour and 5 day incubation times enhanced the lytic activity of human PBL against HOS and K562 target cells and that IL-12 appears to be more efficient than IL-2 in augmenting NK cytotoxicity.
