Superior Performance, No Serum Required
AIM V® Medium does not require human serum for optimal growth and activation of differentiated lymphoid cells.
- Minimizes risk of viral immunogenicity associated with human serum
- Contains no added cytokines and lymphokines
- All proteins in the formulation have the natural human sequence
AIM V® Versus Human Serum Supplemented Medium
Figure 1 compares relative LAK cell lytic activity of lymphocytes maintained in AIMV® medium with lymphocytes maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with serum.
![]() | Figure 1: Comparison of LAK cell lytic activity: AIM V® Medium versus human serum-supplemented medium. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were cultured in RPMI-1640 with 1,000 units/mL of IL-2 plus 2% human serum type AB. Human PBLs were also cultured in serum-free AIM V® Medium with 600 units/mL of IL-2. Results are expressed as averages of duplicate flasks assayed in triplicate using Daudi cells as targets. |
