Germinal centre T cells co-expressing HNK-1 antigen have little lytic activity against NK targets (K562 cells). In order to determine whether these cells regulate B cell function, they were purified from human tonsils by panning on anti-HNK-1 antibody coated Petri dishes and co-cultured with autologous and allogeneic tonsillar T and B cells in the presence of pokeweed mitogen. At the end of 7 days of culture, supernatants were assayed for immunoglobulin concentration by ELISA. A dose-dependent suppression of both IgG and IgM production was demonstrated at ratios from 1:125 to 1:16 of HNK-1+ cells to B cells, but enhancement was observed at very low ratios (less than 1:500) or ratios exceeding 1:16 in some tonsil preparations. Similar results were obtained with peripheral blood HNK-1+ cells but without enhancement in some cases at the extremes of HNK-1+ cells to B cell ratios. The suppression was not MHC-restricted. These preliminary experiments indicate that germinal centre HNK-1+ cells may be intrafollicular suppressor cells.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007694	Killer Cells, Natural	Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.
