CANINE-DERIVED NATURAL KILLER CELLS, AND MASS PROLIFERATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to canine-derived natural killer cells, and a mass proliferation method thereof. The canine-derived natural killer cells of the present invention can be used as an agent for preventing or treating cancer or viral diseases, disorders or symptoms of canines. According to the present invention, the mass proliferation method of natural killer cells can enable the maximum proliferation of canine-derived natural killer cells while remarkably increasing the killing activity thereof, thereby allowing a great number of natural killer cells to be obtained with the collection of a small amount of blood, and thus the method would greatly contribute to commercialization as a cell therapeutic agent.
