<i>shp-2</i> gene knockout upregulates CAR-driven cytotoxicity of YT NK cells by V. G. Subrakova, S. V. Kulemzin, T. N. Belovezhets, A. N. Chikaev, N. A. Chikaev, O. A. Koval, A. A. Gorchakov, A. V. Taranin

“…Adoptive transfer of NK cells is a promising approach to fight cancer; however, for their successful use in cancer treatment, it is necessary to ensure their robust accumulation at tumor foci, provide resistance to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and to engineer them with higher cytotoxic activity. NK lymphocytes are known to kill cancer cells expressing a number of stress ligands; and the balance of signals from inhibitory and activating receptors on the surface of the NK cell determines whether a cytotoxic reaction is triggered. …”
