Applications
This cell line is suitable as a transfection host. The K-562 cell line has attained widespread use as a highly sensitive in vitro target for the natural killer assay. Cultures from the ATCC stock have been shown to exhibit this sensitivity for assessing human natural killer activity. See Pross, et al. for a detailed analysis of the in vitro assay of NK cells including the mathematics of quantitation of NK cell activity
