Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The prior art in the present invention has the following problems: because the existing TIL cell culture method mainly uses IL-2 as the main stimulating factor, and is supplemented with human AB serum as a nutritional supplement for co-culture, but under such culture conditions, the cells cannot maintain a low level of differentiation, and their proliferation ability and long-term persistence in the body are low, and cannot meet the number of immune cells required for effective clinical treatment.

[0019] Therefore, the inventors provide a TIL cell culture medium, including an activation culture medium and a proliferation culture medium; The components of the activation medium include T cell serum-free medium, 8%-12% platelet lysate, 900-1100U / ml interleukin-2, and 30-50U / ml gentamicin; The components of the proliferation culture medium include T cell serum-free culture medium, 4%-6% platelet lysate, 4800-5200U / ml interleukin-2, and 30-50U / ml gentamicin.

Five volumes of trypsin / EDTA digestion solution were added, followed by type IV collagenase (90-110 U / ml), DNase I (4-6 U / ml), and gentamicin (75-85 U / ml). The mixture was mixed with the tumor tissue and then placed in a shaker at 37°C at 100 rpm / min for 3 h for digestion. S112, dilute the tissue digestion solution with an equal volume of physiological saline in a ratio of 1:1, filter the solution with a 70um cell sieve, centrifuge the filtrate at 500g for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and wash the precipitate twice with physiological saline by centrifugation; S113, take a 15 ml centrifuge tube and add 2 ml of lymphocyte separation solution, resuspend the cell precipitate with 2 ml of normal saline and slowly add it to the upper layer of lymphocyte separation solution, and centrifuge at 500g for 20 min. S114. After centrifugation, the centrifuge tube is divided into four layers from top to bottom: the first layer is the diluent layer, the second layer is the ring-shaped milky white target cell layer, the third layer is the transparent separation liquid layer, and the fourth layer is the tissue miscellaneous cell layer.

[0024] S2. Adhesion to remove residual tumor cells: first prepare activation culture medium, then culture the immune cells in the activation culture medium for 3 days to allow the tumor cells to adhere to the wall, take the supernatant and centrifuge to obtain the immune cells, and discard the rest to remove residual tumor cells; Furthermore, the method for removing residual tumor cells by adhesion in S2 specifically comprises the following steps: S201, activation medium configuration: T cell serum-free medium with 8%-12% platelet lysate, 900-1100 U / ml interleukin-2, and 30-50 U / ml gentamicin added; S202. Resuspend the cells in activation medium at a density of 2×106 cells / ml and inoculate them into a 6-well plate. Culture them at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 3 days. Gently shake the culture plate, pipette the non-adherent cell suspension into a 15-ml centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 500 g for 5 min, and discard the supernatant.

[0025] S3, TIL cell activation: After counting the cell pellet, resuspend it in activation medium at a density of 2×106 cells / ml, add plant lectin PHA-P (90-110ug / ml), CD3 monoclonal antibody (900-1100ng / ml), CD28 monoclonal antibody (900-1100ng / ml) to induce TIL cell activation and proliferation; culture at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 3 days; Furthermore, the substance components added to the activation medium of S3 are: plant lectin PHA-P (100ug / ml), CD3 monoclonal antibody (1000ng / ml), and CD28 monoclonal antibody (1000ng / ml).

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, T cells do not aggregate when not activated, but aggregate after being activated by CD3, CD28 monoclonal antibodies and cytokine IL-2; in the early stage of culture, cells have no obvious growth, which is the growth inhibition period, and in the later stage, they begin to proliferate rapidly, increasing from 2 million cells at the beginning to 3.2 billion.

[0027] S4. After TIL cells are activated, TIL cell activation culture is performed: activation medium is supplemented on the third day of culture, and then once every three days. After rehydration, the TIL cell culture density is not less than 1×106 cells / ml; S5. When the cells begin to grow exponentially, proliferation culture of TIL cells is performed using a proliferation medium, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps: S501, proliferation medium configuration: T cell serum-free medium with 4%-6% platelet lysate, 4800-5200U / ml interleukin-2, and 30-50U / ml gentamicin; S502, TIL cells were switched to proliferation medium for rehydration after they began to grow exponentially, and cultured for 40-50 days.

Take cells and use flow cytometry to detect T lymphocyte typing and proportion (CD3, CD4, CD8).

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, after 50 days of activation culture, cells were taken for flow cytometry detection of lymphocyte subsets. The results showed that T lymphocytes accounted for 82.5%, of which helper T lymphocytes (CD3+CD4+) accounted for 25.5%, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD3+CD8+) accounted for 75.5%, which was consistent with the characteristics of TIL cell clustering.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, successfully cultured TIL cells and tumor cells were co-cultured at an effector-target ratio of 4:1 for 24 hours, and the tumor cell killing was detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that 6.7% of tumor cells died and 42.2% of them underwent early apoptosis, indicating that TIL cells have good killing effect on tumor cells.

[0030] In the process of studying TIL cell culture, in order to test the effects of platelet lysate and PHA-P on TIL cell culture, the inventors also conducted a comparative experiment to verify: Example

On the 3rd day, suspended immune cells were separated and added with cell activation medium at a density of 2×106 / ml, and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 cell culture incubator for culture until the 15th day. The activation medium was replaced every 3 days to maintain a cell density of 1-3×106 / mL. After the 18th day, the proliferation culture was replaced and continued until TIL cells were obtained after the 45th day of culture.

[0035] Comparative Example 2 The T cell serum-free medium was added with various components according to the following scheme at each stage, wherein the activation medium reduced the platelet lysate to 5%, and the proliferation medium removed the platelet lysate, and the rest was the same as in Example 1 (as shown in the following table):

On the 3rd day, suspended immune cells were separated and added with cell activation medium at a density of 2×106 / ml, and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 cell culture incubator for culture until the 15th day. The activation medium was replaced every 3 days to maintain a cell density of 1-3×106 / mL. After the 18th day, the proliferation culture was replaced and continued until TIL cells were obtained after the 45th day of culture.
