The effect of FK506 and cyclosporine on NK and ADCC activity was evaluated. Cytotoxic
cells mediating both activities are resistant to FK506. In contrast, preincubation of ADCC and
NK effectors with cyclosporine decreases their cytotoxic potential, while adding the drug to
the assays is without effect.
