Regulatory considerations for NK cells used in human immunotherapy applications. Clin Cancer Res. It is currently believed that the success of adoptive transfer requires the creation of a lymphopenic environment to provide a niche for donor cells to survive and proliferate. In a xenograft mouse model of lymphoma, co-administration of ALT-803 with NK cells significantly enhanced anti-CD20-triggered, NK cell-mediated ADCC effects [83]. Recent evidence has challenged this model and suggests a possibility of more branched development in the form of both CLPs and common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) giving rise to NK cell progenitors. Article With the ongoing effort to improve the treatment response and new methods of generating more feasible clinical scales of NK cells, emerging clinical trials are being designed to evaluate these new modalities and to expand their indications. CAS CAR-NK cell therapy is a novel immunotherapy strategy by utilizing genetically-engineered NK cells to target specific cancer, which can be both liquid and You F, et al. The current in-development BiKEs or TrikEs simultaneously engage with CD16 and tumor antigens, thereby inducing the formation of immune synapses and NK-mediated ADCC [79]. It remains to be determined how NRPbody will interact with a more complex and realistic immune contexture in the TME which consists of more than NK cells, as CXCL16 was shown in other tumor models to correlate with the infiltration of monocytes and M2-macrophages as well [92, 93].
