The present invention relates to a method for efficiently proliferating and differentiating natural killer cells (NK cells) from umbilical cord blood, more precisely a method for efficiently proliferating and differentiating natural killer cells from umbilical cord blood comprising the following steps: 1) preparing CD3 negative cells by eliminating CD3 positive T-cells from umbilical cord blood derived mononuclear cells; and 2) culturing the CD3 negative cells after treating various cytokines thereto. The present invention is advantageous in obtaining high purity NK cells in a short period of time by inducing NK cells from CD3 negative cells, compared with the conventional method inducing NK cells from haematopoietic stem cells, and in promoting NK cell proliferation and differentiation by treating different cytokines together, for example by the co-treatment of IL-15 and IL-21. That is, the method of the present invention can induce NK cells with increased anti-cancer cytotoxicity, so that it can be effectively used for anti-cancer cell therapy. |
