Abstract
The disclosure discloses a kind of new NKT-like cell subpopulation, a therapeutical composition comprising the NKT-like cell subpopulation, and the medical use thereof. The disclosure also provides a preparation method of the NKT-like cell subpopulation. The disclosed NKT-like cell subpopulation has a strong antitumor effect, and can be adoptive transferred into a subject to treat the tumor in the subject after in vitro cultured and amplified.
Claims14
A preparation method of isolated mammal NKT-like cells, comprising the following steps:
- 1) collecting peripheral blood from a mammal subject, separating and removing red blood cells from the peripheral blood;
- 2) isolating mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood obtained in step 1) from which red blood cells have been removed, and sorting the NKT-like cells by using a cell sorting technique with NKT-like cell surface markers;
- 3) in vitro culturing the NKT-like cells obtained in step 2), and adding cytokine(s) that stimulate the proliferation and activation of T cell, for a period of time enough to amplify the number of the NKT-like cells by at least 10˜1000 times;
- and
- 4) harvesting the NKT-like cells obtained in step 3),
- wherein the NKT-like cell surface markers comprise CD8, CD3, TCRαβ, CD161c, CD44, CD62L, CD122, NKG2A/C/E, KLRG1, NKG2D, Ly49G2 and CD27, or comprise CD8, CD3, TCRαβ, CD56, CD44, CD62L, CD122, NKG2A/C/E, KLRG1, NKG2D, Ly49G2 and CD27.
