Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell activity against the leukemia cell line K‐562 was tested in 45 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who either had not received any remission‐inducing drugs for more than 6 months or had received penicillamine for at least 6 months. Baseline NK cell activity and interferon (IF)‐enhanced NK cell activity did not differ from that observed in 45 controls matched for age and sex, and neither NSAID (non steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs) nor penicillamine influenced NK cell activity. There was no correlation between NK cell activity and acute‐phase reactants. 1985 Acta Pathologica, Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica
