On
April 28 (Thursday), Maeil Business TV's 'Magazine Today' introduced the 'NK
Cell Therapy' of NKCL Bio Group Inc.(‘NKCL’, ‘NKCL Bio Group’).
Magazine
Today is a representative comprehensive magazine program that easily delivers
various information in daily life, such as companies, idea products, household
goods, and financial technology that are being discussed.
NKCL
is a specialized biotechnology company with unique technology in culturing 'NK
cells', which are responsible for the most important immune system in our body.
Dong-hwa
Shin, CEO of NKCL Bio Group Inc., who appeared on the broadcast, talked about
the background of research and development of NK cell therapy, saying, “We
conducted R&D to enhance individual immunity and provide opportunities for
treatment and to contribute to the health of the people, and it has been
commercialized thanks to successful results.”
NK
cell therapy using NK cells is drawing attention as a next-generation
anti-cancer therapy with targeted treatment capabilities for cancer cells. NKCL
Bio Group is developing a therapeutic agent that significantly enhances the
anticancer effect by applying its own cell culture technology that increases
the proliferative power of NK cells by more than 100 times and by improving the
activity of existing NK cells.
In
addition, Dr. Dong-hyuk Shin, in charge of developing NK cell culture
technology, said, “NK cells are very important immune cells that keep our body
healthy. If the activity of NK cells is low and the mutant cells generated in
our body are not properly removed, it will develop into cancer. Through the 'NK
cell activation test', you can evaluate your own cell activity, and it provides
cognitive information that allows people with a previous medical history to
estimate the likelihood of recurrence."
An
official from NKCL Bio Group said, “For all diseases, prevention and screening
are more important than treatment after they occur. At the Dongtan Human Immune
Center in cooperation with NKCL Bio Group, you can take the NK cell Activation Tests,
Immunity Primary Tests, Immunity Basic Tests, Immunity In-Depth Tests and
Immunity Special Tests.
We are
building a close cooperation system with Hanyang University and domestic
partner hospitals. In order to advance into the cell therapy market in the
future, we will move on to the biopharmaceutical contract development and
manufacturing (CDMO) business.”
In
addition, NK Immune Water of NKCL, introduced in the broadcast, is a premium
natural mineral water made from domestic deep sea water as its main ingredient.
NK Immune Water is focused on strengthening the immune function through water
intake in daily life. As a result, it is known that it is gaining popularity
among those who value health and immunity.
Meanwhile, Magazine Today, featuring NKCL Bio Group, can be
viewed through NKCL's official YouTube channel, and only a small portion of the
NK cell culture lab and laboratory shots were filmed due to the security of the
culture system.
