A method for identifying and screening dendritic killer cells (DKC) is disclosed in the present invention, and the method is to identify a plurality of cell surface markers selected from a group consisting of HLA-G-, CD14-, CD3-, CD19-, CD56dim and HLA-DR+. The method for screening DKC from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) comprises the following steps. A first cell population with regular cell size is provided and a second cell population is then sorted out from the first cell population by screening the phenotype of CD14 and HLA-G therein. A third cell group is further sorted out from the second cell population by screening the phenotype of CD19 and CD3 therein. Finally, DKC will be identified out of the third cell population by screening the phenotype of CD56 and HLA-DR. |
