Sb. Cheknev et al., DISSOCIATION OF E-T CONJUGATES UPON ACTIVATION OF HUMAN NATURAL KILLERS BY FACTORS ACTING AT THE LETHAL BLOW STAGE, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(3), 1994, pp. 283-287
It is demonstrated that in the presence of human, recombinant gamma-in
terferon and C-reactive protein the activity of natural killers increa
ses 9-43%, whereas the number of effector:target cell conjugates forme
d at the stage of recognizing and binding of target cells decreases 14
-80%. There is a weak positive correlation (rho=0.35) between the acti
vity of natural killers and the number of effector:target cell conjuga
