Abstract
This paper reports that cortisol at physiological concentrations minimizes the enhancement of human natural killer (NK) cell activity in vitro by immune interferon (IFN-γ). This effect may be important for the regulation of NK cytotoxicity in vivo.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
