Development of approaches for cellular immunotherapy of cancer patients

To treat the patients with oncological diseases, cellular immunotherapy have been actively developed in recent years. Usage of antitumor adoptive immunotherapy (AIT) based on in vitro activated lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NK cells) is the most urgent issue. Their antitumor potential is enh...

It was shown that, for earlier in vitro activation of cells, IL-15 should be supplemented. We also studied the ability of whole blood cells from cancer patients (n = 20) receiving cell immunotherapy vs those non-treated with AIT, as well as healthy donors (n = 10), to secrete cytokines in spontaneous and mitogen-induced cultures. Peripheral blood cells of cancer patients receiving AIT for a year or more proved to show a more pronounced ability to respond to mitogen stimulation, in contrast to the patients who have never received AIT, as well as in relation to a group of donors whose immune system has not been stimulated either. Most likely, this may be explained by the fact, that the in vitro activated CIKs if introduced into the patient’s body, trigger a number of cascadelike intercellular interactions leading to activation of the patient’s immune system cells, especially, antitumor immunity, proliferation of cytotoxic lymphocytes and NK cells, like as in vivo inhibition of immunosuppression. The developed method of CIK production may be offered for carrying out cellular AIT in oncological patients as a novel approach to in vivo activation of the patient’s immune system.Yu. V. GelmE. V.
