HC induces high proliferation in IL-15–activated CD56+ cells. Purified CD56+ cells were cultured with IL-15 in the absence or presence of HC at concentrations ranging from 10–10 M to 10–4 M for a period of 20 days. (A) Cell counts, (B) [3H]TdR incorporation, and (C) viability estimated by trypan blue dye exclusion were analyzed every 5 days. Results represent the mean plus or minus the standard deviation (SD) of 3 independent experiments using CD56+ cells from healthy donors.
