Ablation of NK Cell Function During Tumor Growth Favors Type 2-Associated Macrophages, Leading to Suppressed CTL Generation

Several reports describe regulatory interactions between NK cells and CTLs. We addressed the issue of NK participation in the early anti-tumor defense by inoculating α-ASGM-1 treated mice with BW-Sp3 T lymphoma. Rejection of BW-Sp3 depends on strong CTL responses. Our results demonstrated that (i) N...
