About
The growth medium from cultured human umbilical cord blood natural killer cells, containing immune cell secretions with potential anti-tumour and immunomodulatory activity.
Human umbilical blood NK cell conditioned media falls under EU Annex II/416 for materials of human origin. Natural killer cells are immune lymphocytes that secrete cytokines including IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and perforins. The secretome from NK cells is distinctly pro-inflammatory compared to MSC-conditioned media. Sourcing from cord blood requires compliance with blood establishment regulations and full donor screening.

Known concerns
