Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing natural killer (NK) cells. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for producing NK cells, characterized in that peripheral blood mononuclear cells from which CD3-positive cells are removed are proliferated together with feeder cells, and the peripheral blood mononuclear cells are re-stimulated with feeder cells at the time of reaching a specific accumulated population doubling level. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing NK cells, characterized in that NK cells are cultured under appropriate culture conditions by using a bioreactor. The production method according to the present disclosure has an advantage that NK cells having a high cell-killing ability and cell survival rate can be produced with high purity and at high efficiency in a short period of time by a clinically friendly method as compared with existing methods, thereby increasing the productivity of an NK cell therapy agent.
