Non-major histocompatibility complex-restricted cytotoxic cells. Cells with the greatest effector function in CIK cultures coexpress CD3 and CD56 surface molecules.
X-VIVO Serum-free Hematopoietic Cell Media provide nutritionally complete and balanced environments for a variety of cells including lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL).These media do not contain any exogenous growth factors, artificial stimulators of cellular proliferation, or undefined supplements. They are devoid of any protein kinase C stimulators and are suitable for the investigation of second messenger systems in the activation of human and murine lymphocytes.
There are three versions of this media:
