Study on the standardized preparation of NK cells and the mechanism of anti-aging of rhesus monkey PBMC

Natural killer (NK) cells are an important part of the immune system and play a central role in cell-mediated immune responses. Recent studies have shown that NK cells promote organ rejuvenation, thus achieving anti-aging effects from the inside to out.

We amplified and cultured human peripheral blood NK cells and the positive rate reached 43.91%. After purification, the positive rate reached 92.65%. The cultured NK showed a good killing effect on tumor cells and the NK cells reached the standard preparation scale. The NK cells cultured by us were co-cultured with the PBMC of aging macaques and the quantitative PCR and WB results showed that the expression of aging gene and aging protein of the PBMC of aging macaques decreased significantly after co-culture, with statistical significance (P<0.01).

These results indicate that NK cells prepared with standard preparation have anti-aging effect, which will have extensive significance in preclinical research.
