In this study we investigated the expression of the 55 kDa (p55) and the 75 kDa (p75) TNF receptors in CD56+ NK cells and their role in NK and lymphokine-activated killer cells cell functions. By using mAb against the p55 and p75 TNF-R, NK cells were found to express both p55 and p75 upon activation, and both receptors were involved in the generation of lymphokine-activated killer cells activity. Proliferative activity of IL-2 stimulated NK cells was inhibited by anti-TNF-alpha mAb, indicating that endogenously produced TNF-alpha is important for optimal proliferation of NK cells. Furthermore, addition of rTNF-alpha increased the IL-2-induced proliferation of NK cells. mAb to p55 and p75 inhibited the IL-2-induced proliferation indicating that both TNF-R are involved in mediating this effect.
