NK Cells
Natural killer cells with a validated cytotoxic profile — purity confirmed and functional activity verified for each lot.
COA per lotInnate immunity, characterized.
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system, identified as CD56+ CD3−. 1CELL's NK cell populations have a validated cytotoxic profile and are delivered in an infusion-ready formulation.
Purity and functional cytotoxic activity are confirmed for each lot, with an optional HLA/KIR panel for matched applications.

Preserved as the product requires.
NK cells can require cryopreserved storage and cryogenic transport, or controlled cold-chain conditions, depending on formulation. 1CELL confirms the conditions with the source laboratory for each lot and coordinates packaging, transport and clinic handoff.

What the research says.
NK cells recognize and eliminate stressed or abnormal cells without prior sensitization. They are studied in oncology and immune research, including adoptive transfer approaches; many studies are early-stage.
NK cell therapies are investigational in most settings and should be used only under specialist supervision, within applicable regulation.

Who can order NK cells?
Licensed physicians and clinics, where permitted by local regulation. Request professional access and we will verify your credentials.
What is the HLA/KIR panel?
An optional typing analysis for applications that require matching. You can request it when ordering.
How are they shipped?
Under the conditions specified for the product — cryogenic or controlled cold chain — with temperature monitoring and a custody record.
Are NK cell therapies approved?
They are investigational in most settings, and status varies by country. Use is the treating physician's decision within applicable regulation.
