Human natural killer cells express Na+ channels. A pharmacologic flow cytometric study.
Voltage-gated excitability of purified human NK cells was studied by using flow cytometry and the voltage-sensitive dye, oxonol. Highly purified human NK cells (CD16 = 95 +/- 1%) from normal volunteers were prepared by using a negative panning technique. The Na(+)-channel agonists batrachotoxin (BTX) (1 to 4 microM) and veratridine (Ver) (100 to 400 microM) depolarized a population of highly purified human NK cells as determined by flow cytometry. BTX and Ver responses were concentration-, time-, temperature-, and Na(+)-dependent. The Na+ channel antagonist tetrodotoxin (1 microM) blocked BTX and Ver responses. Ver (100 microM) produced significant inhibition of cytotoxicity when purified NK cells were incubated with K562 tumor target cells in a 4-h 51Cr release cytotoxicity assay. The effect was blocked by tetrodotoxin. These results strongly suggest presence of functional Na+ channels in NK cells. Activation of voltage-dependent Na+ channels depolarizes cells and reduces their in vitro cytotoxic function.

An electron microscopic demonstration of immune complexes of hepatitis B e-antigen using colloid gold as a marker.
Immune complexes of the hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) could be labeled and thus visually identified in the electron microscope by using antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) tagged with colloidal gold particles. Circulating immune complexes of HBeAg were detected in sera from patients with acute hepatitis B infections as well as from asymptomatic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg). Sera positive for rheumatoid factor frequently contained mixed aggregates in which immune complexes of HBsAg were closely bound to immune complexes of HBeAg.
