A METHOD OF ENGINEERING NATURAL KILLER CELLS TO TARGET CD70-POSITIVE TUMORS

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions related to targeting of CD70-expressing cells with NK cells specifically engineered to bind the CD70 antigen. In particular embodiments, NK cells that are manipulated to expressing CD70-targeting engineered receptors, such as CARs, are utilized to target cancers that express CD70. In certain embodiments, vectors that express the CD70-targeting CARs also express particular a suicide gene and/or one or more particular cytokines.
