Abstract
Description
[technical field]
[0001] The invention relates to a method for cultivating and expanding NK cells, in particular to a method for massively expanding NK cells in vitro. [Background technique]
[0002] Natural killer cells (NK) are cytotoxic lymphocytes belonging to the lymphocyte lineage that contain perforin and granzyme granules. Its recognition of target cells is not restricted by MHC, it can directly kill tumor cells without prior sensitization, and can also secrete cytokines to regulate the functions of other immune cells. It is the main bearer of the body's natural immunity and the core of acquired cellular immunity. Regulatory cells play an important role in tumor immunity, anti-viral infection and removal of non-self cells. Studies have proved that natural killer cells are not only an important component of the natural immune system, but also have some characteristics of acquired immune cells. In the immune system, NK cells respond faster than T cells or B cells, an...
