Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells, cytotoxic for Burkittl lymphoma cells, were found to be more active in atopic than in non-atopic children. Upon stimulation of lymphocyte cultures with Sendai virus, less interferon was produced by cells from atopic than from non-atopic individuals. lncreased NK activity and decreased interferon production may both be consequences of a T lymphocyte deficiency which has been suggested to be causally related to atopic disease.
