摘要:
The present invention relates to an immunocyte having higher cytotoxic activity, and a pharmaceutical composition for NK cell therapies, for which high effect can be expected. The present invention provides a cell population including CCR5-positive, CCR6-positive, CXCR3-positive, and CD3-negative cells. The present invention provides the cell population, wherein the CCR5-positive, CCR6-positive, CXCR3-positive, and CD3-negative cells further highly express CD11c. The present invention provides a CCR5-positive, CCR6-positive, CXCR3-positive, and CD3-negative cell, which infiltrates into a solid tumor. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition containing such a cell population and a pharmaceutically acceptable additive. The present invention further provides a method for producing the aforementioned cell population.

A technique is needed which can amplify NK cells in vitro and prepare optimum number of NK cells for the adoptive immunotherapy.A method for amplifying NK cells is provided which comprises steps of: preparing cell population which is comprised of NK cells, removing T cells from the cell population which is comprised of NK cells, and, after removal of T cells, cultivating the remaining cells in a medium supplemented with 2500 to 2831 IU/mL of IL-2. The method for amplifying NK cells of the present invention may comprise a step of removing hematopoietic progenitor cells from the cell population. The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for adoptive immunotherapy, comprising NK cells which are prepared by the amplifying method of the present invention.
摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide methods for producing dendritic cells (DCs), which comprise the step of culturing DC precursor cells in the presence of a plurality of cytokines, produced dendritic cells, and uses thereof.The present inventors discovered that dendritic cells with a high IL-12 productivity can be obtained by culturing DC precursor cells in the presence of a plurality of cytokines, followed by about one week of culture in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. The present invention enables preparation of a large amount of DCs with a high IL-12 productivity from a small number of DC precursor cells, and therefore makes it easier to increase the number of DCs for administration in DC-based anti-tumor immune therapy, treatment of infections, etc. Thus, the effect of DC vaccines is expected to be enhanced.

The present invention provides Paramyxovirus vectors encoding angiogenic genes and use of the same. The use of Paramyxovirus vectors enables effective transfer of angiogenic genes into individual tissues. FGF2 gene transferred into ischemic tissues in vivo induces expression of angiogenic genes without causing edema, and prevents necrosis due to ischemia. The vectors of the present invention are suitable for gene therapy targeted to ischemic tissues.
摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide vectors for conveniently and efficiently producing ES-like cells in which foreign genes are not integrated into the chromosome. The present inventors discovered methods for producing ES-like cells from somatic cells using chromosomally non-integrating viral vectors. Since no foreign gene is integrated into the chromosome of the produced ES-like cells, they are advantageous in tests and research, and immunological rejection and ethical problems can be avoided in disease treatments.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for suppressing tumor proliferation comprising the step of inhibiting the expression of PDGF-A or the binding between PDGF-A homodimers and PDGFRα. Activation of the PDGFRα-p70S6K signal transduction pathway by PDGF-AA is an important factor in tumor angiogenesis and relates to the prognosis of patients suffering from tumors. By inhibiting PDGF-A expression in tumors or in their surrounding tissues, or by inhibiting the binding between PDGF-A homodimers and PDGFRα, the formation and retention of tumor vasculature can be inhibited, thereby suppressing tumor proliferation.
