EFFECT OF CIANIDANOL (KB-53) ON THE ACTIVITY OF MOUSE NATURAL KILLER CELLS

抄録

The effect of cianidanol (KB-53) on the mouse natural killer (NK) cell activity of the splenic cells was investigated using YAC-l cells as target cells. The oral administration of KB-53 at a dose of 500 mg/kg augmented significantly the NK cell activity. The activity was observed maximally 3 d after the administration, and significant difference from the control was observed even at 7 d after the administration of KB-53. The oral administration of KB-53, at a dose range of 125-500 mg/kg, augmented the NK cell activity in a dose dependent manner at 3d after the administration
