It is presently unknown whethei thymoglobulin TG a preparation of polyclonal rabbit g immunoglobulins directed against human thymocytes1 can improve the generation efficiency of CIK cells compared with aCD3 mAb in a clinical-giade culture protocol. Methods Peripheral blood mononucleai cells PBMC fiom 10 healthy donois and 4 patients with solid cancei weie piimed with IFN-g on day 0 and low 50 ng ml z inteimediate 250 ng ml and high 500 ng ml concentrations of eithei aCD3 mAb oi TG on day 11 and weie fed with IL-2 eveiy 3 days foi 21 days. Aliquots of cells weie haivested weekly to monitoi the expression of representative membeis of the killei-like immunoglobulin ieceptoi KIR NK inhibitoiy receptor NK activating ieceptoi and NK triggering ieceptoi families. We also quantified the frequency of bona fide iegulatoiy T cells Tteg a T-cell subset implicated in the down-regulation of anti-tumoi immunity1 and tested the in vitro cytotoxic activity of CIK cells against NK-sensitive1 chionic myeloid leukaemia K562 cells. Results CIK cells expanded moie vigorously in cultures supplemented with inteimediate and high concentrations of TG compared with 50 .
