Natural Killer Cell Phenotype at Diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Predicts Disease Prognosis
Author(s): Anil Kumar and Srividya Swaminathan*
Studies on Natural Killer (NK) cells have demonstrated their potential in treating hematological malignancies and
solid tumors. Because they are potentially safer and easier to engineer than T cell-based therapies, NK cells are a
particularly attractive platform for developing off-the-shelf cellular treatments. Development of allogeneic NK cellbased
therapies requires a detailed understanding of how autologous NK cells are suppressed in patients with cancers. .. View more»
