Autologous Natural Killer Cells for Cancer & Virus Infected Therapy - The new hopeful way of cancer cure -

Japanese  English






  • The NK cell is a kind of immunity lymphocyte that exists originally in animal’s inside of the body.
  • It differentiates in marrow and this cell has high ability to kill the tumors and virus infected cells.
  • Even when neither T cell or B cell demonstrate the attack power in the human body. The NK cell become the first defense line of the human body with independent action.
(The most important roll against cancer cells
of our innate immunity )
 
The Nature of NK Cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are yet another type of lethal lymphocyte. Like cytotoxic T cells, they contain granules filled with potent chemicals. They are called "natural" killers because they, unlike cytotoxic T cells, do not need to recognize a specific antigen before swinging into action. They target tumor cells and protect against a wide variety of infectious microbes. In several immunodeficiency diseases, including AIDS, natural killer cell function is abnormal. Natural killer cells may also contribute to immunoregulation by secreting high levels of influential lymphokines.

The NK cell is destroying
the cancer cell
Both cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells kill on contact. The killer binds to its target, aims its weapons, and then delivers a lethal burst of chemicals that produces holes in the target cell's membrane. Fluids seep in and leak out, and the cell bursts.
Super-Soldier of anti-cancer
  • Some 10 million-one cancer cells are usually produce every day in the inside of the body. A natural immune-lymphocyte put the attack on such various cancer cells, and makes it promptly kill and wound.
  • After destruction of the cancer cell, NK cell regains former state, and continuously looks for the enemy.
  • NK cell acts only on the cancer and virus infection cell. In the chemotherapy even normal cells are destroyed and disappears, However in terms of NK cell cure, there is not such a problem, moreover without any side effects either.
NK Cells v.s. Cancer
The following elements never influence the ability of NK cell to kill tumor or viral infection cell
  • Patient's sex
  • Tumor size
  • Tumor localization
  • level of differentiation of tumor
  • Tumor film
  • Move to lymph gland

Presence of NK cells
within cancerous formations
NK cell of high purity is promoted
Because the NK cell of the Patient's cultured, and activated by high purity, completely safety and superior effect can be expected.

The effecter cell of the LAK cell Therapy
(lymphokine-activated killer)
is the NK cells.
