ABSTRACT:
Natural Killer (NK) cells are obtained by administering a Toll-like receptor ligand such as polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid into the peritoneal cavity of an animal to which lactoferrin has been administered to proliferate NK cells in the peritoneal cavity and collecting NK cells from the peritoneal cavity.
