摘要:: The manner by which natural killer cells discriminate between target and nontarget cells is a subject of intense investigation. Recently, the antigen recognized by the 4F2 monoclonal antibody has been implicated as the target recognition molecule of cloned human natural killer cells. Here we report the results of our studies on the possible role of 4F2 antigen in target recognition by natural killer cells present in the peripheral blood. In our hands, the 4F2 antibody only weakly blocked the killing of K562 leukemia cells by human natural killer cells. Furthermore, no correlation was observed between the level of cell surface 4F2 antigen and the natural killer susceptibility of several tumor cell lines, the ability of these cells to bind to natural killer cells, or the ability of these cell lines to compete with K562 cells in a natural killer assay. Therefore, the 4F2 antigen does not appear to be the target recognition molecule of most peripheral blood natural killer cells.
