Popis: SUMMARYA particular T cell population expressing NK cell markers, CD56 and CD57, exists in humans. Many CD56+ T and CD57+ T cells (i.e. NK T cells) exist in the liver and increase in number in the blood with ageing. They may be a human counterpart of extrathymic T cells, similar to NK1.1+ CD3int cells seen in mice. We investigate here the existence of such NK T cells in human cord blood and the in vitro expansion of these cells by the stimulation of human recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2). There were very small populations (
