Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to an immune cell activation composition and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Malignant tumors are one of the major diseases that threaten human health and life, and their incidence rate is increasing year by year. According to the 2015 Global Cancer Statistics, there were approximately 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million deaths in 2015 worldwide. In China, there were 4.29 million new cancer cases and 2.81 million deaths in 2015. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have become the three conventional methods of tumor treatment, but they all have the characteristics of insufficient specificity, resulting in varying degrees of damage to normal tissues and organs while clearing tumor cells.

[0003] DC cells, also known as dendritic cells, are a heterogeneous cell population with highly efficient killing activity. The proportion of DC cells in human peripheral blood lymphocytes is 1% to 5%. Clinically, DC cells have significant activity in killing tumors and clearing viruses after a large number of amplifications, and DC cells play an important regulatory role in the body's cellular immunity and humoral immunity. DC cell immunotherapy is the most important component of biological therapy. The process is to extract the patient's own immune cells, activate, modify, and proliferate them in vitro, and then infuse them back into the patient's body to induce the body to produce specific or non-specific immune responses, and play a role in killing tumor cells and antiviral effects in the patient's body.

[0004] Studies have reported that adding antigen peptides to DC cell culture can specifically secrete high concentrations of IFN-γ. However, the above method can only be used for specific indications, and has low activation efficiency, long culture time, and potential risks such as tumor vaccine imbalance and tumor spread. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more efficient, safer, and faster-cultured antigen-activated immune cells in clinical practice. Summary of the invention
