An 83-year-old patient with advanced gastric cancer was given repeated endoscopic administration of OK-432 combined with systemic immunochemotherapy. The cancerous lesion gradually regressed following the treatment, and remarkable degeneration was observed in many tumor cells. Detailed immunohistochemical examination revealed that Leu 7-positive cells had markedly infiltrated the cancerous tissue. This finding suggests that NK cells may play an important role in tumor regression induced by intratumoral OK-432 therapy.

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.
