Cytokine-induced memory-like natural killer cells for cancer immunotherapy

Abstract Natural killer cells are an important part of the innate immune system mediating robust responses to virus-infected and malignant cells without needing prior antigen priming. NK cells have always been thought to be short-lived and with no antigen specificity; however, recent data support th...
