Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DC-CIK cell culture biotechnology, and in particular to a DC-CIK cell culture kit. Background Technology

[0002] DC cells have been extensively studied for their use in tumor immunotherapy, where they activate specific T cells by loading tumor antigens.

[0003] DC-CIK cell culture combines DC cells with CIK cells. The antigen-presenting function of DC cells activates specific immunity, while the broad-spectrum killing ability of CIK cells creates a synergistic anti-tumor effect. Multiple clinical trials have validated the safety and preliminary efficacy of DC-CIK cells in solid tumors such as lung cancer and liver cancer, promoting their clinical application.

[0004] In actual production, existing DC-CIK cell culture methods require frequent cell transfers, which greatly increases the risk of cell culture and places high demands on the technical skills of producers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a technical solution for DC-CIK cell culture kit to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. This kit not only enables the entire process of DC-CIK cell culture without cell transfer, but also reduces the risks in the cell culture process, lowers the technical requirements for producers, and improves the efficiency of cell culture.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] DC-CIK cell culture kit, characterized in that: it includes...

[0008] At least one DC flask for culturing DC cells;

[0009] At least one CIK flask, which is detachably connected to the DC flask, for culturing CIK cells;

[0010] At least one DC-CIK culture flask, which can be detachably connected to a DC flask or a CIK flask, for culturing DC-CIK cells;

[0011] And at least one culture bag, which is detachably connected to the DC-CIK culture flask via a hose with an opening and closing mechanism.

[0012] The above-mentioned structural design not only enables the entire process of DC-CIK cell culture without cell transfer, but also reduces the risks in the cell culture process, lowers the technical requirements for producers, and improves the efficiency of cell culture.

[0013] Furthermore, both the DC bottle and the CIK bottle include a bottle body and T-shaped blocks and buckles on both sides of the bottle body. The buckles are provided with T-shaped grooves that match the T-shaped blocks. By embedding the T-shaped blocks into the T-shaped grooves, the DC bottle and the CIK bottle can be connected. By splicing and connecting the DC bottle and the CIK bottle, the mixing of DC cells and CIK cells can be achieved without opening the sealed end caps, which greatly improves the efficiency of cell culture and greatly reduces the risk of metastasis.

[0014] Furthermore, the T-block is provided with a mating ring, and the inner side of the mating ring is provided with a threaded hole that extends horizontally into the interior of the bottle. The buckle plate is provided with a through hole that extends horizontally into the interior of the bottle. The through hole matches the mating ring. When the DC bottle and CIK bottle are connected, the mating ring on the unconnected T-block is sealed by the sealing side cover, and the through hole on the unconnected buckle plate is sealed by the sealing plate. The sealing plate is also provided with a second sealing groove, which is conducive to the installation of the sealing ring.

[0015] Furthermore, the T-shaped block is provided with a first sealing groove, and the T-shaped groove is provided with a second sealing groove. The first sealing groove and the second sealing groove match each other. When the T-shaped block is embedded in the T-shaped groove, a sealing ring is set between the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove, which can improve the sealing effect when the DC bottle and CIK bottle are connected and prevent cells from flowing out from the connection.

[0016] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the bottle are respectively equipped with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, both of which are provided with external threads. The inlet pipe is threaded with a sealing end cap, and the outlet pipe is threaded with a sealing end cap or threaded with a DC-CIK culture bottle. The inlet and outlet pipes facilitate the placement of cells into the bottle or the flow of cultured cells into the DC-CIK culture bottle, and the sealing end caps serve a sealing function.

[0017] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism includes a first opening and closing cover, a second opening and closing cover, and an opening and closing assembly. The second opening and closing cover is connected to the first opening and closing cover through the opening and closing assembly. When the first opening and closing cover and the second opening and closing cover rotate relative to each other, the opening and closing assembly opens or closes, thereby enabling the hose to be connected or closed.

[0018] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly includes an opening and closing block, a push-pull rod, a rotating ring, and a guide rod. The opening and closing blocks are distributed in a ring within the first annular groove of the first opening and closing cover and are rotatably connected to the first opening and closing cover. The rotating ring is rotatably connected within the first annular groove. Ear plates are evenly distributed on the inner side of the rotating ring and are connected to the opening and closing blocks via the push-pull rod. The side of the first opening and closing cover has at least two guide grooves. The guide rod is located on the outer side of the rotating ring, passes through the guide groove, and moves along the guide groove. The rotating ring drives the ear plates to move in a circumferential direction, and the push-pull rod can then drive the opening and closing blocks to rotate, thereby realizing the opening and closing or closing of adjacent opening and closing blocks. This is beneficial for controlling the opening and closing of the hose. The guide rod moves along the guide groove and can limit the rotational position between the first opening and closing cover and the second opening and closing cover.

[0019] Furthermore, the top surface of the rotating ring is uniformly provided with fixing rods, which are connected to the second annular groove of the second opening and closing cover. The fixing rods improve the connection stability between the second opening and closing cover and the rotating ring, which is beneficial for driving the rotating ring to rotate through the second opening and closing cover.

[0020] Furthermore, the top surface of the first opening and closing cover is provided with two positioning holes, the distance between the two positioning holes is matched with the size of the guide groove, and the bottom surface of the second opening and closing cover is provided with an elastic block, which is matched with the positioning hole. The design of the elastic block and the positioning hole is conducive to positioning the first opening and closing cover and the second opening and closing cover.

[0021] Furthermore, the first opening and closing cover is provided with a first through hole, which connects to the first annular groove, and the second opening and closing cover is provided with a second through hole, which connects to the second annular groove.

[0022] This utility model, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This invention not only enables the completion of the entire process of DC-CIK cell culture without cell transfer, but also reduces the risks in the cell culture process, while reducing the technical requirements for producers and improving the efficiency of cell culture.

[0024] 2. By connecting DC and CIK bottles, DC cells and CIK cells can be mixed without opening the sealed end caps, which greatly improves the efficiency of cell culture and significantly reduces the risk of metastasis.

[0025] 3. The rotating ring drives the ear plate to move in a circumferential direction, which in turn drives the opening and closing block to rotate through the push-pull rod, realizing the opening and closing or closing between adjacent opening and closing blocks. This is beneficial for controlling the opening and closing of the hose. The guide rod moves along the guide groove, which can limit the rotation position between the first opening and closing cover and the second opening and closing cover. Attached image description:

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 The image shows the DC-CIK cell culture kit of this invention, comprising at least one DC bottle 1, at least one CIK bottle 8, at least one DC-CIK culture flask 2, and at least one culture bag 3. This application uses one DC bottle 1, one CIK bottle 8, one DC-CIK culture flask 2, and one culture bag 3 as an example for illustration.

[0045] DC bottle 1 is used to culture DC cells; CIK bottle 8 is detachably connected to DC bottle 1 and used to culture CIK cells.

[0046] Both DC bottle 1 and CIK bottle 8 include a bottle body 101 and T-shaped blocks 102 and buckle plates 103 located on both sides of the bottle body 101. The buckle plate 103 is provided with a T-shaped groove 106, which matches the T-shaped block 102. By embedding the T-shaped block 102 into the T-shaped groove 106, the DC bottle 1 and CIK bottle 8 are connected. By splicing and connecting DC bottle 1 and CIK bottle 8, DC cells and CIK cells can be mixed without opening the sealed end cap 109, which greatly improves the efficiency of cell culture and greatly reduces the risk of metastasis.

[0047] The T-block 102 is provided with a mating ring 104, and the inner side of the mating ring 104 is provided with a threaded hole 105. The threaded hole 105 extends horizontally into the interior of the bottle body 101.

When the DC bottle 1 and the CIK bottle 8 are connected, the mating ring 104 on the unconnected T-block 102 is sealed by the sealing side cover 6, and the through hole 112 on the unconnected buckle plate 103 is sealed by the sealing plate 7. The sealing plate 7 is also provided with a second sealing groove 110, which is conducive to the installation of the sealing ring.

[0048] The T-shaped block 102 is provided with a first sealing groove 107, and the T-shaped groove 106 is provided with a second sealing groove 110. The first sealing groove 107 and the second sealing groove 110 are matched. When the T-shaped block 102 is embedded in the T-shaped groove 106, a sealing ring is set between the first sealing groove 107 and the second sealing groove 110, which can improve the sealing effect when the DC bottle 1 and the CIK bottle 8 are connected, and prevent cells from flowing out from the connection.

[0049] The top and bottom of the bottle body 101 are respectively provided with an inlet pipe 108 and an outlet pipe 111. Both the inlet pipe 108 and the outlet pipe 111 are provided with external threads. The inlet pipe 108 is threaded with a sealing end cap 109, and the outlet pipe 111 is threaded with a sealing end cap 109 or threaded with a DC-CIK culture bottle 2. The inlet pipe 108 and the outlet pipe 111 facilitate the placement of cells into the bottle body 101 or the flow of cultured cells into the DC-CIK culture bottle 2.
