摘要: Aim: We explored the possibility of combining adoptive immunotherapy with cytokine-activated killer (CAK) cells and epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody, cetuximab, as a treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. Materials Methods: CAK were cultured high- dose interleukin-2 anti-CD3 antibodies. This cell population contained both activated CD16 + /CD56 (NK) CD3 /NKG2D high+ T-cells. The effect alone in combination, on viability human cholangiocarcinoma was evaluated. Results: Culture alone, but not cetuximab exhibited modest cytotoxicity toward cells. However, significantly enhanced cytotoxicity. enhancement inhibited by addition excess immunoglobulins, suggesting that antibody-dependent cytotoxicity, mediated NK culture involved this mechanism. Conclusion: Cetuximab may be used to enhance therapeutic activity patients cholangiocarcinoma, potentiating cellular Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) originates from neoplastic
