Cytokine-induced killer cells are type II natural killer T cells.

Cytokine-induced killer cells are type II natural killer T cells.

Abstract

Hintergrund: Bis jetzt wurde angenommen, dass Zytokin-induzierte Killer(CIK)-Zellen Teil einer Typ I natürliche Killer-T(NKT)-Zellpopulation sind, aber bisher fehlten die Untersuchungen, die dies bestätigten. Methoden: Zur Analyse wurden CIK-Zellen unter verschiedenen Kulturbedingungen hergestellt. Humane Typ I NKT-Zellen exprimieren einen T-Zellrezeptor (TCR), der zusammengesetzt ist mit einer invariaten Valpha24-JalphaQ-Kette kombiniert mit einer von verschiedenen Vbeta-Ketten. Valpha24 kann als zuverlässiger Marker für das Vorhandensein von diesen TCRs verwendet werden. Ergebnisse: Beim Vergleich von mehreren CIK-Zellkulturen fanden wir keine Valpha24-Expression auf der Oberfläche von CIK-Zellen. Schlussfolgerung: Wir schlussfolgern, dass CIK-Zellen nicht zum Typ I NKT-Zellen gehören.

Background: Until now, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells were assumed to be part of the type I natural killer T (NKT) cell population, but it was not yet investigated if this is correct. Methods: For analysis, CIK cells were generated by various culture conditions. Human type I NKT cells express a T cell receptor (TCR) composed of an invariant Valpha24-JalphaQ chain combined with one of several Vbeta chains. The Valpha24 is a reliable marker for the presence of these TCRs. Results: While comparing cultures stimulated with different substances, we observed the lack of any Valpha24 on the surface of CIK culture cells. Conclusion: We conclude that CIK cells do not belong to the type I NKT cells.
