Enumeration of immune interferon-producing cells induced by allogeneic stimulation
We succeeded in enumerating interferon-producing cells induced by allogeneic stimulation, and proved that they were indeed T lymphocytes. The peak level of these cells in spleen was attained on day 5 after immunication, was maintained for about 2 days, and declined thereafter. Titers of interferon produced in vitro by sensitized spleen cells were maximum on day 7. This suggests that the maturation of immune interferon-producing cells follows cell proliferation after antigen stimulation.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
