Abstract
The invention relates to a method for activating and expanding NKT-like cells in vitro. The method according to the present invention utilizes nucleated somatic cells derived from allogeneic or heterologous subjects to activate and proliferate NKT-like cells of a subject in vitro, and can increase the overall number of the NKT-like cells, the expression of activation markers and the number of killing effector molecules.
