Study on Lymphokine Activated Killer(LAK) Cells I. Improved LAK cell induction in vitro

Year: 1988

Type: article

Abstract: The optimum incubation period, serum or plasma concentration, recombinant interleukin 2(rIL-2) concentration, cell density and kind of culture bottles for inducing lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells in vitro from normal peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were examined. Culture of PBL, at a high cell density of 2×10^6/ml with 9 U/ml of rIL-2(TGP-3) and 2% of serum (or plasma) for 3 days in a flat bottle, was most effective, although the cell density of 1×10^6/ml and 3 U/ml of rIL-2 has been used so far. ABO matched allogeneic frozen plasma was shown to be as effective to induce LAK cells as AB sera. This Inodification could reduce the volume of medium, number of culture bottles and CO2 incubator space, and cost required in mass culture for practical use.
