Abstrakt		INterferon gamma (IFN), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necrosis factors alpha (TNF) stimulate NK like lytic activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro against K562 cells. We investigated the effect of IFN, Il-2 and TNF on NK lytic activity of highly (more than 90 percent) purified population of NK cells. We founded, that only IL-2 considerably increases their activity. The affinity studies of IL-2 receptors on the same cells revealed, that IL-2 stimulated NK cells express increased number og high affinity IL-2 receptors, while TNF even decreases their expression. Though the TNF treatment eliminates detectable high affinity IL-2 receptor amount, the function of NK cells remains unaffected. These findings propose that mechanism of NK cells stimulation depends on cytokine nature.
