Title:
GROWTH METHOD FOR NATURAL KILLER CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/013947
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved growth method for natural killer cells (NK cells). More specifically, the present invention relates to a growth method for natural killer cells, which comprises a step of culturing natural killer cells in a medium containing anti-CD3 antibodies and interleukin proteins in the presence of peripheral blood leukocytes. The present invention provides an innovative growth method for natural killer cells, which can obtain a large amount of natural killer cells by remarkably increasing the growth rate compared with conventional growth methods for natural killer cells.
