CD28 is superior to 4-1BB costimulation in generating CAR-NK cells for tumor immunotherapy by Pengchao Zhang, Xuejia Feng, Xiangyun Niu, Zhongming Liu, Minghui Li, Maoxuan Liu, Dehong Yan, Guizhong Zhang, Xiaochun Wan

“…This study compared two dominant CAR designs used in T cells—CD28-CD3ζ (28z) and 4-1BB-CD3ζ (BBz)—and found that CD28 costimulation offers superior functionality in NK cells. 28z CAR-NK cells exhibited significantly better activation, cytotoxicity, and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy than BBz CAR-NK cells, with similar persistence and tumor infiltration. 28z CAR more effectively recruited the ZAP70 kinase and upregulated multiple key factors involved in immune activation, potentially augmenting CAR-NK cell function. …”
