Natural killer (NK) cells represent an attractive lymphocyte population for cancer immunotherapy due to their ability to lyse tumor targets without prior sensitization and without need for HLA-matching. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are able to enhance lymphocyte targeting and activation towards...
