Abstract: NK cells and NK cell lines are modified to increase their cytotoxicity. proliferation. metabolic profile and persistence. wherein the cells and compositions thereof have a use in the treatment of cancer.
Abstract: NK cells and NK cell lines are modified to increase cytotoxicity, wherein the cells and compositions thereof have a use in the treatment of cancer. Production of modified NK cells and NK cell lines is via genetic modification to remove checkpoint inhibitory receptor expression and/or add mutant (variant) TRAIL ligand expression.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are engineered natural killer cells that have been modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). The cells optionally contain other modifications that improve tumor specific cytotoxicity and homing to tumor sites. Also contemplated are methods for using the engineered natural killer cells to treat patients with cancer.
