We studied the generation of human natural killer (NK) cells from CD34+ cells that were isolated from peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-CSF). The isolated CD34+ cells were cultured in the presence of a combination of interleukin-1 (IL-1alpha), IL-2, and stem cell factor for 5 weeks without marrow stroma. We found that the CD34+ cells isolated from G-CSF-mobilized PBSC (G-CSF/PBSC) could differentiate into a population of NK cells which were CD56+(bright)/CD3- and showed morphologic characteristics of large granular lymphocytes. Immunophenotypic analysis of the NK cells thus generated showed that a small proportion of them expressed CD2, CD8 and CD16 surface markers and approximately half of them coexpressed CD7. This NK population exhibited cytotoxic activity against a NK-sensitive cell line, K562. These observations suggest that CD34+ cells from G-CSF/PBSC contain precursors of NK cells that can differentiate into functional NK cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.
