NK CELL ACTIVATION METHOD, NK CELL GROWTH METHOD AND CELL PRODUCTION METHOD USING THE SAME, AND MONOCYTE CONTAINING NK CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an NK cell activation method which enables NK cells which have non-specific cytotoxic activity to various tumor cells and virus-infected cells and the like or ADCC activity to be activated to grow safely and easily without being mixed with K562 and the like; and an NK cell growth method and a cell production method using this, and monocytes which contain a large amount of NK cells.;SOLUTION: In the NK cell activation method, NK cells are activated by stimulating monocytes containing T cells and NK cells by CD52 agonists. Stimulation of the monocytes by CD52 agonists is performed in the presence of cytokine.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
