Abstract:
Objective: To study the change of blood lymphocyte phenotype after amplified autologous NK and T cells infusion from peripheral blood lymphocyte in 22 patients with cancer.
Methods: Mixture(named NKTm) of NK and T lymphocytes cells amplified from peripheral blood in malignant tumor patients was infused with 2 weeks interval.Before infusion and 2 weeks after infusion,the lymphocyte phenotype was detected by flow cytometry included CD3
+、 CD3
+CD4
+、 CD3
+CD8
+、 CD3
-CD16
-CD56
+、 CD3
-CD16
+CD56
-、 CD3
-CD16
+CD56
+、 CD3
+CD16
-CD56
+、 CD3
+CD16

-、 CD3
+CD16
+CD56
+.
Results: Two weeks after infusion,the phenotype of CD3
+、 CD3
+CD8
+、 CD3
+CD4
+ cells did not significantly change,while the NK like cells(marked with CD16
+/CD56
+) statistically incresesd(P<0.01).The results did not changed after multiple doses.No side-effects were found.
Conclusion: Amplified autologous NK and T Cells infusion from peripheral blood lymphocyte may increase the antitumor immune without any side-effects.
