The present application relates to the technical field of NK
cell culture, and discloses a method for improving the killing function of NK cells and application thereof.The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a
haem oxygenase 1
antibody to an NK
cell culture medium to prepare an
antibody culture medium; (2) performing
sterile filtration treatment on the
antibody culture medium; and (3) separating NK cells and culturing the NK cells in the antibody culture medium.The present application adds a
haem oxygenase 1 antibody to treat NK cells, blocks the expression of
haem oxygenase 1 in the NK cells, or inhibits the activity of an effective substance of haem
oxygenase 1.After being treated with the haem
oxygenase 1 antibody, the
secretion of
granzyme B and
perforin of the NK cells can be promoted, and the killing effect of the NK cells on target cells Yac-1 and K562 can be improved, so that the anti-tumor function of the NK cells is improved.
