Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been a great success in CD19+ hematological diseases. Natural killer (NK) CAR cells offer an alternative to CAR T cells with an intrinsic potential for universal off-the-shelf cell therapeutics. The choice of cell type and the choice of CAR are both relevant for the feasibility, effectivity, engraftment, persistence, side effects, and safety of the cell therapy. Until recently CAR NK cells have proven difficult to develop into therapeutic products. Here, we give an overview of the source of CAR NK cells, gene transfer methods, and the manufacture of CAR NK cells for clinical application. We discuss improvements, as well as future options and problems that need to be addressed. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Cancer Biology, Volume 7 is April 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Cancer Biology offers comprehensive reviews on various topics within cancer research, covering pivotal and emerging areas in the field. As our understanding of cancer's fundamental mechanisms deepens and more findings transition into targeted clinical treatments, the journal is structured around three main themes: Cancer Cell Biology, Tumorigenesis and Cancer Progression, and Translational Cancer Science. The current volume of this journal has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, ensuring all articles are published under a CC BY license.
