Abstract

Objective: To examine the effect of AG490 on NK activity and lymphocyte transformation.

Methods: Using MTT colorimetry to detect cell survival, NK activity and cell proliferation.

Results: AG490 inhibited IL-2 and PHA induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation, and it inhibited NK activation.

Conclusion: As an inhibitor of JAK, AG490 can influence the function of normal cells.
