What are CAR-NK cells?
2022-01-10
Naturally occurring killer (NK) cells are genetically engineered to express specific chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), thereby enhancing their ability to target and kill tumor cells. CAR-NK cells combine the natural immune properties of NK cells with the precise targeting of CAR technology and are considered a significant breakthrough in tumor immunotherapy following CAR-T cell therapy.
