Abstract

This video demonstrates an in vitro technique to measure the cytotoxic ability of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells against cancer cells. Upon co-culturing target cancer cells with CIK cells, the dead cancer cells are identified using a fluorescent viability dye and are quantified using flow cytometry, estimating the cytotoxic effect of CIK cells.
Protocol
All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board. 1. Preparation of materials Store reagents, antibodies, and chemicals as shown in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Dissolve the drugs or cytokines in solvents as stock solutions and then aliquot for storage at -20 °C or -80 °C.<br…
Representative Results
Figure 1: The proportion of CD3+CD56+ T cells from a representative PBMC sample. (A) Lymphocytes were recognized by specific size and granularity. Selected single cell population for analysis by flow cytometry. (B) Statistical analysis of CIK expansion efficacy from three healthy donors was conducted using a t-test (*, p < 0.01). <p class="jove_conten…
