  • Publication number: 20250064931
    Abstract: A method for preparing an activated expanded lymphocyte stock solution includes co-culturing, in a serum-free medium, a lymphocyte activator with peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained via autologous peripheral whole blood centrifugal extraction, and thus completing lymphocyte culture activation. The cultured activated lymphocytes are placed into a serum-free medium. Subculturing is performed to prepare lymphocyte activation culture. A serum-free medium having a volume which is 5 to 10 times of the lymphocyte activation culture is added to the lymphocyte activation culture. Expansion culture is performed, wherein the number of expansion culture generations is 1 to 5. A step of centrifuging, washing, and collecting the activated expanded lymphocytes is performed.

  • Publication number: 20240262934
    Abstract: A starch-indole-acid derivative, a preparation method therefor, and a use thereof are provided. The starch-indole-acid derivative refers to esterified starch generated by starch undergoing an esterification reaction together with indole acid under the action of a condensing agent and a base. The derivative has high resistance and can resist degradation in the stomach and small intestine. After reaching the colon, the derivative can be fermented by intestinal flora to release indole acid, which is beneficial to intestinal health. The starch-indole-acid derivative has significant advantages and can significantly increase the content of indole acid in colon and hepatic portal blood.
