Patients 1 to 6 had indolent NK cell-lineage granular lymphocyte-proliferative disorder (NK-GLPD), patient 7 had aggressive NK cell leukemia, and patients 8 and 9 had nasal NK cell lymphoma.

Abbreviations: ND, not done; G, germ-line configuration; I, indolent; A, aggressive.

*

Surface phenotypes of PBMC (patients 1 through 7 and 9) or lymph node (patient 8) are shown in percentages.

Cytotoxicity was assayed against K562 target cells at an effector-to-target cell ratio of 20:1 with 4 hours of incubation.
