Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a natural killer cell and a culture method thereof. Background technique
[0002] Cellular immunotherapy for tumor treatment entered the clinic earlier than other cell therapy schemes. In the schemes that have been tried, LAK cells, CIK cells, and A-NK cells are all anti-cancer systems dominated by NK cells. This is because natural Killer cells (natural killer, NK) are the main members of innate immunity, and can play an important role in the first line of defense against diseases including malignant tumors. In contrast to cells of the adaptive immune system such as T cells, NK cells can initiate cytotoxic activity without prior stimulation or sensitization, thereby providing an immediate natural response. The advantage of NK cells in killing tumors is manifested in two aspects: direct dissolution and secretion of cytokines, which can kill tumors through both perforin and FAS ligand. NK cells can produce TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1...
