Abstract：
:We established a clonal cell culture system for human natural killer (NK) cells from fetal thymocytes. Thymocytes of 16 to 22 gestational weeks were cultured in methylcellulose in the presence of interleukin (IL)-7, IL-15, and steel factor (SF). After 14 days in incubation, large, diffuse colonies consisting of small cells were identified. Cells in the colonies were medium- to large-sized granular lymphocytes, expressing CD56 but not CD3, and revealed lytic activity against K562 cells. Colony-forming units (CFU)-NK were enriched in lineage negative (Lin- ) CD34++ subpopulations of fetal thymocytes, whereas a smaller number of CFU-NK also existed in Lin-CD34+ and Lin-CD34- subpopulations. Cytokine requirement for the NK cell colony formation was examined under serum-free conditions. As a single agent, only IL-15, but not IL-2, IL-7, or SF, supported NK cell colony formation. IL-15 had synergy with IL-7 and SF independently, and the maximal number of colonies were obtained when the three cytokines were present. IL-2 also supported NK cell colony formation in the presence of SF. When IL-2 was added to cultures containing IL-15 alone, IL-15 plus SF, or IL-15, SF, and IL-7, the numbers of NK cell colonies were reduced relative to those without IL-2. These results indicate that IL-2 may regulate IL-15-responsive NK cell progenitors. This clonal culture system will be a useful tool in the investigation of NK cell ontogeny.
