Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for the expansion and culture of natural killer cells. By using a method for the expansion and culture of natural killer cells, according to the present invention, the proliferation of human-derived natural killer cells is remarkably enhanced such that natural killer cells to be used for cancer treatment can be efficiently obtained.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for culturing of expansion of natural killer cells comprising culturing natural killer cells in a medium containing IGFBP2. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the culturing is performed under a hypoxic condition or a normoxic condition. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the culturing is performed for 1 to 22 days. 4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the hypoxic condition is a condition of 15 to 0.5% O 2 . 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the hypoxic condition is a condition of 5 to 1% O 2 . 6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the normoxic condition is a condition of 18 to 22% O 2 . 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the IGFBP2 is contained at a concentration of 0.1 to 10 μg/ml. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the medium further contains IL-2.
