摘要:
The present invention provides dendritic cells capable of efficiently activating and/or proliferating γδ T-cells in vivo and/or in vitro, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said dendritic cells, therapeutic methods and γδ T-cell culture methods utilizing said dendritic cells. By pulsing immature dendritic cells derived from peripheral blood monocytes with a bisphosphonate-based bone metabolism improving drug to enable the cells to activate γδ T-cells, and cultivating them with a cell subset containing γδ T-cells, γδ T-cells can be activated and/or proliferated. This allows for easy proliferation of γδ T-cells without burdening a patient, leading to practical applications of immune cell therapies that utilize γδ T-cells.
