Description Preincubation of peripheral blood non-adherent mononuclear cells with purified or recombinant interleukin 2 (IL-2) significantly enhanced natural killer (NK) activity against uninfected and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-infected targets, while antibodydependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against VZV-infected targets was not increased. Preincubation of effector cells with IL-2 had no effect on conjugate formation, but lysis of both targets was increased in single cell assays. IL-2-enhanced NK against VZV-infected targets was independent of gamma-interferon (y-IFN) production.
