| Abstract |
The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between chemical suppression of natural killer (NK) cell activity in mice and chemical effects on susceptibility to murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Data from studies with 8 chemicals administered in various doses and by various routes were evaluated, and a statistically significant correlation was observed between chemical suppression of virus-augmented NK cell activity and increased mortality due to MCMV infection. In contrast, effects of the same chemical treatments on spontaneous NK cell activity (i.e., NK cell activity in uninfected mice) did not correlate with effects of these chemicals on mortality due to MCMV. |
