What Is Immune Cell Therapy?

Immune cellsare commonly known as white blood cells and include lymphocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages. They form the body's immune army and provide immune defence, immune homeostasis and immune surveillance, eliminating bacteria, viruses and cancer cells to keep the body functioning healthily.

Immune cell therapymeans collecting the patient's own immune cells, activating and expanding them outside the body and then reinfusing them, thereby strengthening the immune system's ability to recognise and activate immune defence and quickly kill diseased or abnormal cells (such as cancer cells and infected cells).

NK Cells (Natural killer cells)

NK (Natural Killer)cells, i.e. natural killer cells, are an important component of the human immune system, responsible for fighting viral infections and cancer cells, and are hailed as the "first line of defence" of the human immune system.

Natural killing ability: They can directly attack or kill abnormal or cancerous cells in the body without the need for specific antigen recognition.

Cytotoxic factors: They possess cytotoxic factors such as perforin and granzyme, used to destroy target cells.

Core Functions of NK Cells

Anti-cancer action
They directly recognise and kill tumour cells without prior activation.
Anti-viral and anti-infection
They can clear a variety of viral infections (such as hepatitis B virus and HPV) and help control chronic infection.
Anti-ageing
They directly kill abnormally senescent cells.
Immune regulation
NK cells work together with other immune cells (such as macrophages and T cells) to enhance the body's defence mechanisms.

The Killing Power of NK Cells                                                          

Activated NK cells kill cancer cells more effectively than activated γδT cells or activated αβT cells      

NK Cell Vitality

The killing activity of NK cells against cancer cells increases several times to several dozen times.

Application Areas of NK Cells

Tumour prevention and treatment

They can clear cancer cells in the body, control the development of cancer and achieve multiple goals such as prolonging survival and improving quality of life

Anti-ageing

They clear senescent cells in the body, accelerating cell renewal and metabolism, with an enhanced capacity to clear damaged and mutated cells

Regulating sub-health

They clear senescent and mutated cells to improve sub-health

Anti-viral

They kill virus-infected cells and inhibit viral replication
