INCREASED ACTIVATION OF LAK CELLS BY TREATING HUMAN PERIPHERAL MONONUCLEAR BLOOD CELLS WITH AMINO ACIDS.

摘要

There is provided an improved process for enhanced LAK cell activation wherein the peripheral blood mononuclear cells are treated with an amino acid amide to yield depletion, prior to the lymphocytes being cultured at high density. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using them in combination with IL-2 to treat cancer in a mammal.
