The in vitro effect of human polymorphonuclear leukocyte azurophil granule components on natural killer cell cytotoxicity

We previously demonstrated that human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) secretions are capable of activating and inhibiting natural killer cell (NK) cytotoxicity depending on the eliciting PMN stimulus. Serum-opsonized zymosan induced PMN to secrete substances that enhanced NK activity in vitro. Ser...
