Pretreatment natural killer antigen density correlates to clinical response in tumor patients receiving long-term subcutaneous recombinant interleukin-2 and recombinant interferon-alpha

We evaluated density of the natural killer (NK) cell-associated CD56 antigen on circulating NK cells of 47 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Patients received a combination of low-dose subcutaneous recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) and recombinant interferon-alpha (rIFN-alpha) as home therapy. Antigen density of CD56 before therapy was 2.2-fold higher (P < 0.005) in patients who subsequently achieved a complete or partial remission when compared with patients who presented with progressive disease on therapy. After a 6-week treatment cycle, NK cells of treatment responders expressed significantly (2.1-fold; P < 0.005) more CD56 antigens than NK cells in nonresponding patients. These results suggested a potential role of both pre- and posttreatment NK antigen density levels as a biologic correlate to treatment response.
