A V.gamma.9V.delta.2 T cell proliferation agent includes at least a
bisphosphonate, interleukin 2, and interleukin 18. Since IL-18 has
properties that improve cell viability by inhibiting cell death, IL-18 is
presumably capable of acting as a cofactor for the bisphosphonate so as
to significantly increase the effect of V.gamma.9V.delta.2 T cell
proliferation by the bisphosphonate and the IL-2. This allows providing a
V.gamma.9V.delta.2 T cell proliferation agent capable of growing
V.gamma.9V.delta.2 T cells with a proliferated efficiency significantly
high compared to conventional methods so that the proliferated
V.gamma.9V.delta.2 T cells have a high antitumor activity and high
cytokine productivity.
