Creative Biolabs is at the forefront of CIK therapy, dedicated to providing high-quality in vitro phenotype identification services for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Utilizing a high-throughput technology platform, we precisely analyze the phenotypic characteristics of TILs and achieve detailed classification and assessment of various subpopulations. Additionally, through a comprehensive analysis of TILs' functionality, cell markers, and immune properties, we provide reliable data to assist our clients in evaluating or optimizing their CIK treatment strategies.
The tumor microenvironment is intricate and variable, and the composition and function of TILs may directly influence the effectiveness of CIK therapy. By performing phenotype identification services, Creative Biolabs can confirm the specific subgroups of TILs, allowing for an assessment of their immune response capabilities against the tumor. Furthermore, through our phenotypic analysis, we can predict the prognosis of CIK therapy and select which types of tumors are more susceptible to this therapy, ultimately enhancing the chances of successful therapy outcomes.
At Creative Biolabs, we have used flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry to classify TIL subpopulations across various tumor types, identifying specific subsets such as CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and regulatory T cells, whose ratios are closely linked to cancer prognosis. Meanwhile, the use of multiplex immunofluorescence labeling technology allows us for precise analysis of the spatial distribution and functional status of TILs. Moreover, by enhancing the antitumor activity of TILs through phenotypic characterization, we can also provide potential biomarkers and targets to optimize cancer immunotherapy.

Tumor tissues are obtained from various types of tumors to ensure representative samples are collected, adhering strictly to ethical guidelines.
Enzymatic digestion techniques, such as using collagenase and DNase, are employed to process tumor tissues, facilitating the separation of tumor cells from infiltrating lymphocytes.
The isolated TILs are cultured in specific media designed to promote their proliferation and activity. Cytokines, such as IL-2 and IL-7, may be added to enhance cell viability.
Flow cytometry is used to identify surface markers on TILs, labeling specific antigens (such as CD3, CD4, CD8) to distinguish various T cell populations. Multiplex flow cytometry allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple markers, enabling detailed analysis of TIL subsets.
The functional status of TILs is assessed through cytotoxicity assays or cytokine secretion experiments to measure their capacity to kill tumor cells. ELISA or colorimetric assays can be employed to evaluate the secretion of cytokines (such as IFN-γ, and TNF-α).
Single-cell RNA sequencing is conducted on TILs to analyze their gene expression profiles, providing insights into their active states and regulatory mechanisms. Comparative analysis of gene expression differences among TILs from various patients or tumor types offers a foundation for personalized therapy approaches.
