Incubation of murine peritoneal and spleen natural killer cells with amphotericin B at concentrations of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/l in vitro, resulted in depression of their tumoricidal activity which had been augmented in vivo by infection with Toxoplasma gondii. In contrast, amphotericin B at the same concentrations had little or no effect on spontaneous natural killer cell activity in vitro. These in-vitro data suggest amphotericin B may have adverse effects on natural killer cell function in vivo.
