The numbers of CD3\u2010CD56+, CD16+, and CD8\u2010CD57+ cells in peripheral blood were analyzed with monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after discontinuation of therapy. The CD3\u2010CD56+ and CD16+ cell counts of ALL patients (n = 14) were below the mean \u20101SD values of controls at cessation but normalized within one month due to a rapid 2.1 and 4.5 fold increase, respectively. The CD8\u2010CD57+ cell count of ALL patients was normal compared to controls at cessation. In solid tumor patients (n = 11), the counts of all NK cell phenotypes studied were of normal amount compared to controls at cessation and no vigorous increase occurred after the therapy.<\/jats:p><jats:p>NK cell function was determined by killing K 562 target cells in five patients. In the two standard risk ALL patients tested, the activity was still low at 5 months after therapy. In contrast, the function was normal at 1 month (Wilms' tumor), 3 months (Mb Hodgkin's) and 6 months (Burkitt lymphoma).<\/jats:p><jats:p>In conclusion, NK cell counts were decreased compared to controls during therapy for ALL, but recovered rapidly afterwards. In spite of normal counts, NK cell function may be impaired for several months. The number and function of NK cells is less affected in solid tumor patients. These differences may reflect the milder immunosuppressive effect of interval cytostatic medication in solid tumor patients when compared to the more intensive continuous therapy in ALL patients. \u00a9 1995 Wi1ey\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mpo.2950240607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,20]],"date-time":"2007-02-20T19:22:25Z","timestamp":1171999345000},"page":"373-378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Recovery of Natural Killer Cells After Chemotherapy for Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Solid Tumors"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Soile","family":"Alanko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toivo T.","family":"Salmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tarja\u2010Terttu","family":"Pelliniemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V76.12.2421.2421"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.7025208"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10428199209049794"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","first-page":"170","article-title":"Role of natural killer cells in defense against leukemia: therapeutic considerations","volume":"7","author":"Lotzova E","year":"1988","journal-title":"Nat Immun Cell Growth Regul"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V40.1.42.42","article-title":"Immunologic rebound after cessation of long\u2010term chemotherapy in acute leukemia","volume":"40","author":"Borella L","year":"1972","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","first-page":"414","article-title":"Studies on the immune status of children with acute lymphocytic leukaemia","volume":"26","author":"Hitzig WH","year":"1976","journal-title":"Clin Exp Immunol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19920315)69:6<1481::AID-CNCR2820690628>3.0.CO;2-L"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.1985.tb02962.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3083.1989.tb01100.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.1983.tb01251.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10428199109068084"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.1987.00295.x-i1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1084\/jem.161.6.1483"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1987.tb10565.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1989.tb10895.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_2","first-page":"299","article-title":"The Berlin childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapy study","volume":"2","author":"Riehm H","year":"1980","journal-title":"Am J Pediatr Hematol Oncol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1789","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.131.4.1789","article-title":"Subpopulations of human natural killer cells defined by expression of the Leu7 (NK1) and Leu 11 (NK15) antigens","volume":"131","author":"Lanier L","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Immunol"}],"container-title":["Medical and Pediatric Oncology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmpo.2950240607","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mpo.2950240607","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]],"date-time":"2023-10-27T04:42:19Z","timestamp":1698381739000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mpo.2950240607"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1995,6]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1995,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mpo.2950240607"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mpo.2950240607","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0098-1532","1096-911X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0098-1532","type":"print"},{"value":"1096-911X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1995,6]]}}}
