โฆ Synopsis
In order to establish an efficient culture system for the generation of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells, we have developed a new device which is essentially based on a continuous dialyzing culture vessel. LAK cells grown in such a system showed higher cytotoxicity than those grown under conventional culture conditions. By using this new apparatus with continuous regulation of infused interleukin 2, nutritional medium, and pO(2) and pCO(2), yields of 2ร10(7) cells/ml were achieved and maintained for more than 21 days. These cells also showed a significant increase of LAK activity on a per cell basis.

We recently developed a new culture system based on dialysis perfusion (designated JCC-device) for the generation and expansion of human lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells (Murata et al., 1990). More recently we have scaled up the volume of the culture vessel of the JCC-device from 100 ml to 40
