Unstimulated large granular lymphocytes/natural killer (LGL/NK) cells, unlike small T lymphocytes, exhibit prompt locomotion into nitrocellulose filters in response to chemo-attactrants, but, unlike monocytes, are unable to migrate as adherent cells across polycarbonate filters. Upon activation with 4-B-phorbol 12,13 dibutyrate (PDBU), LGL/NK cells become adherent and change their migratory behaviour, having the ability to migrate as adherent cells across polycarbonate filters. PDBU-treated high-density T lymphocytes did not show, under the same conditions, locomotory activity. The change in migratory behaviour following activation may represent an important determinant of the ability of activated LGL/NK cells to adhere to vascular linings and localize in tissues.

In the process of developing a decision support system based on flow cytometric data for the diagnosis of immunodeficiency, assessment of lymphocyte subpopulations in human peripheral blood provides the key for further analysis. Samples from 273 'healthy' Hungarian subjects were measured between 1998 and 1999. Immunophenotypic data are compared here (unadjusted for gender) by different age groups: I 0-6 years (n=45); II 7-18 years (n=71); III 19-35 years (n=72); IV 36-55 years (n=48); and V 56-99 years (n=37).

Clonal expansion of large granular lymphocyte(LGL) have been classified into T-LGL and NK-LGL leukemia. T-LGL leukemia cells have a CD3+ phenotype and show clonal T-cell receptor(TCR) gene rearrangement. NK-LGL leukemia cells have a CD3- phenotype and no TCR gene rearrangement.

Activation of human natural killer (NK) cells involves sequential events including cytokine production and induction of cell surface molecules, resulting in the enhancement of cytolytic activity. To delineate the activation process of NK cells, we generated murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against YT, a human large granular lymphocyte/natural killer (LGL/NK) cell line. Among the mAbs reactive with YT cells, one mAb, termed 2B9, was noted because of the lack of reactivity with most of the human T- and B-cell lines tested.
