Effects of a cloned cell line with NK activity on bone marrow transplants, tumour development and metastasis in vivo

Nature volume 300, pages 31–34 (1982)Cite this article

Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells cloned in vitro have been transferred into NK-deficient hosts. These cells have been shown to have a role in the rejection of allogeneic bone marrow grafts, resistance to both radiation-induced thymic leukaemia and challenge with melanoma tumour cells. It appears that NK cells have an important role in immune surveillance.
