The peripheral blood lymphocytes of 36 adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis had reduced natural killer (NK) cell activity when measured against 51Cr-labeled [human leukemia] K 562 cells. The decrease in NK cells activity was not related to the serum IgE level, but was related to the severity of the skin disease. Addition of autologous monocytes to the assay reduced the NK cell activity and concealed the enhancing effect of .gamma.-interferon addition in a 4-h assay. The NK cell activity of lymphocytes could be reduced in vitro by addition of prostaglandin E1, or increased by addition of .gamma.-interferon similar to lymphocytes from persons without atopic disease. The reduced NK cell activity may be secondary to the skin disease, and due to in vivo interaction between NK cells and monocytes, or to low numbers of NK cells in peripheral blood.
