Measurement of immunophenotype and cytotoxicity of CIK against tumor cells in vitro by FCM / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the immunophenotype and the cytotoxicity of cytokine-induced killer(CIK) against tumor cells in vitro.Methods Lymphocytes cells were isolated freshly from peripheral blood of healthy donors by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation,and the cells obstained were induced by IFN?,IL-2 and CD3McAb.Phenotypes and cytotoxicity of CIK were analysed by FACS.Target cells were differentiated from effect cells by CFSE dying.The mortality of Target cells were determined by FACS.Results The maximum proliferation of CIK reached at the 22nd day.The phenotypes of CD3,CD11a,CD54,HLA-DR were expressed highly;CD25,CD28,CD69,FasL were expressed moderately on CIK.The expression of CD16 was not increased.CIK possessed the cytotoxicity against tumor cells of K562,HL-60,Hela,SMMC7721 and A375.Conclusion IFN?,CD3McAb,IL-2 can induce peripheral lymphocytes to produce CIK which own strongly proliferation and exert highly efficient cytotoxic effects on tumor cells.
