Media for the ex vivo expansion and culture of human Natural Killer lymphocytes under xeno-free conditions. Key Benefits • Robust NK cell expansion under serum-free and xeno-free conditions • Compatible with a variety of NK cell activation methods • Supports NK cell expansion from PBMCs or purified CD3+-depleted PBMCs Why Use ExCellerate™ Human NK Cell Expansion Media? Natural Killer (NK) cells play an important role in both the adaptive and innate immune responses that control infection, autoimmunity, and tumor immunosurveillance. Due to their intrinsic and non-specific anti-tumor activity, human NK cells have been employed as anti-cancer therapies. Robust expansion and maintenance of NK Cells is critical to facilitate NK cell therapy. Versatility of ExCellerate Human NK Cell Expansion Media ExCellerate Human NK Cell Expansion Media is optimized for NK cell expansion when used in combination with Recombinant Human Cytokines from R&D Systems. However, this versatile media also provides robust growth using a variety of cytokine combinations (IL-2, IL-12, IL-18, and IL-21) and cell activation methods, including particle, bead-based, or plate-bound Human NKp46/NCR1 Antibody. The activation and cytokine/growth factor combinations used with this media should be optimized by application or experimental protocol.
