Viral infections elicit both specific and nonspecific responses in infected hosts. The specific responses include the production of antiviral antibody and the generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells. The non-specific responses include the elevation of body temperature, the synthesis of interferon, and the activation of macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells. While most of these parameters have been studied for a number of years, only recently has the concept been proposed that NK cells may contribute to the resistance or pathology in viral infections (reviewed inWelsh1978a). This concept is particularly intriguing because NK cells may have the capacity to mediate both nonspecific and specific arms of the host response. Many investigators agree that NK cells and K lymphocytes, mediators of antibody-dependent, cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), may represent identical, overlapping, or similar populations of effector cells (OjoandWigzell1978;Herbermanet al. 1979;Papeet al. 1979;Timonen1979).
