Abstract
A method of culturing natural killer (NK) cells according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be used in immunotherapy. An additive composition for an NK cell culture medium according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may inhibit the activity of CD4+ T cells, thereby effectively helping NK cell proliferation and activation.
Claims21
1:
- An additive composition for a natural killer (NK) cell culture medium, the additive composition comprising one or more Treg activity suppressing substance as an active ingredient.
2:
- The additive composition of claim 1, wherein the active ingredient is a steroid and functions to increase the proliferation rate of NK cells.
3:
- The additive composition of claim 2, wherein the steroid is glucocorticoids.
4:
- The additive composition of claim 3, wherein the glucocorticoid is one or more substances selected from the group consisting of cortisol, cortisone, prednisolone, prednisone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, betamethasone, triamcinolone, fludrocortisone acetate, and deoxycorticosterone acetate.
(canceled)
6:
- The additive composition of claim 2, wherein the steroid is contained at a concentration of 0.2 μm/ml or higher.
7:
- A natural kill (NK) cell culture method comprising:
- treating a culture medium in which peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from blood are cultured, with an NK cell stimulation substance;
- treating the culture medium with a T cell stimulation substance after the treating of the culture medium with the NK cell stimulation substance;
- treating the culture medium with an additive composition for an NK cell culture medium after the treating the culture medium with the T cell stimulation substance, the additive composition comprising one or more Treg activity suppressing substances.
1 more element
8:
- The method of claim 7, wherein the NK cell stimulation substance is at least one selected from the group consisting of an anti-CD16 antibody, an anti-CD56 antibody, and IL-2, IL-12, IL-18;
- and
- the T cell stimulation substance is at least one selected from the group consisting of an anti-CD3 antibody, an anti-CD4 antibody, and an anti-CD28 antibody.
9:
- The method of claim 7, wherein the Treg activity suppressing substance is a steroid;
- and
- the steroid inhibits the immunosuppressive activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby helping the proliferation of the NK cells.
10:
- The method of claim 7, wherein the treating of the culture medium with the T cell stimulation substance is performed on the second day of culture;
- and
- the treating of the culture medium with the additive composition is performed on the third day of culture.
11:
- The method of claim 10, wherein the treating of the culture medium with the additive composition is performed again one or more times on or after the fifth day of culture.
12:
- The method of claim 7, wherein the additive composition comprises a steroid at a concentration of 0.2 ug/mL or more;
- and
- the steroid is dissolved in a carrier or cytokine 1-1 solution, wherein the cytokine 1-1 solution is obtained by dissolving IL-12 and IL-18 in a basic solution such that the IL-12 and the IL-18 are contained at a concentration of 0.5-5 ng/mL and a concentration of 2 of 50 ng/mL, respectively in the basic solution.
13:
- The method of claim 7, further comprising:
- harvesting the NK cells after culturing the NK cells for 11 to 16 days after the treating of the culture medium with the additive composition.
14:
- An immune cell therapeutic agent comprising NK cells obtained by the NK cell culture method of claim 13 as an active ingredient.
15:
- A natural killer (NK) cell reactivation method comprising:
- preparing exhausted NK cells resulting from freezing and thawing of NK cells that are separated or harvested after being cultured for 20 days or more;
- and
- culturing the prepared exhausted NK cells in a cytokine 1-1 solution.
1 more element
16:
- A method of preparing an NK cell culture medium composition, the method comprising:
- separating NK cells that are cultured for 11 days by the NK cell culture method of claim 7;
- culturing the separated NK cells in a cytokine 1-1 solution;
- and
- obtaining a culture medium composition remaining after harvesting the cultured NK cells.
2 more elements
17:
- A composition comprising the NK cell culture medium composition obtained by the method of claim 16 as an active ingredient.
18:
- A method for treating a skin disease, the method comprising applying the composition of claim 17 to a subject with the skin disease.
19:
- The method of claim 12, further comprising:
- harvesting the NK cells after culturing the NK cells for 11 to 16 days after the treating of the culture medium with the additive composition.
20:
- An immune cell therapeutic agent comprising NK cells obtained by the NK cell culture method of claim 19 as an active ingredient.
21:
- A method for alleviating a skin trouble, the method comprising applying the composition of claim 17 to a subject with the skin trouble.
