The application discloses a simple and low-cost method for culturing canine NK cells
in vitro and belongs to the technical field of
cell culture. The method comprises the following steps: separating NK cells from
peripheral blood of a dog, culturing the NK cells with a canine NK
cell activation culture medium for 24-48 hours, then continuing to culture the NK cells with a canine NK
cell expansion culture medium, adding the canine NK
cell expansion culture medium after 48 hours, expanding the cells in a
bottle when the cells are obviously expanded, otherwise maintaining the cells in the original
bottle after
centrifugation, adding liquid and expanding the cells in a
bottle or culturing the cells in the original bottle
every other day, and harvesting the canine NK cells after 12-18 days. The method provided by the application does not need to activate the canine NK cells by using engineered
trophoblast cells and multiple cell factors, and does not need to activate the cells by using an
antibody, so that the method is simple and low in cost, and the cultured canine NK cells normally express NKp46, do not express CD3 and CD5, and have normal inhibitory and killing tumor abilities.
