Inhibition of pig NK cell activity by asialooligosaccharides (aOS) isolated from human serum glycoproteins was investigated. Train-tennary aOS (aOSIII) of ceruloplasmin was found to be the most potent inhibitor up to the concentration 0.1 micrograms/ml, which is in agreement with its highly specific binding to NK-activity-enriched pig lymphocytes (with a morphology similar to human large granular lymphocytes (LGL]. Only lectins with the specificity to Gal(beta 1----4)GlcNAc or Gal(beta 1----3)GalNAc structures exhibited inhibition of NK cytotoxicity. F(ab)2 fragments of rabbit antibodies against pig spleen membrane lectin cross-reacting with the pig liver membrane lectin completely inhibited NK activity when preincubated with the effectors or present in the incubation mixture during the assay. These data suggest that lectin receptors on cells of pig NK-activity-enriched fraction specific for aOSIII and antigenically related to membrane lectins isolated from pig spleen and liver, are involved in the NK recognition of several xenogeneic targets.
