Abstract: A novel protein complex is disclosed which is co-associated with CD3.zeta. on CD16.sup.- NK cells. A purified form of the protein complex, a gene encoding the protein complex and method of producing the purified protein complex also are disclosed. Antibodies that bind to the protein complex and methods for their use further are disclosed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for removing residual tumor cells from a patient with a neoplastic disorder by treating in vitro cell preparation with lymphokine activated cytotoxic cells.

Abstract: A method for distinguishing between NK cells and T lymphocytes is provided, which comprises contacting a sample containing lymphocytes with a first reagent comprising anti-CD3 and a first detectable label and a second reagent comprising a mixture of anti-CD16 and anti-GP160 (Leu-19) both labeled with a second detectable label, and identifying cells that react with the reagents, whereby cells that react with the first reagent are identified as T lymphocytes, and cells that react only with the second reagent are identified as NK cells. Cells that react with both reagents are identified as a unique subset of T lymphocytes some of which may mediate MHC unrestricted cytolysis.
