Primary Human NK Cell Gene-Editing Reveals a Critical Role for NKG2A in Cytokine-Induced Memory-like NK Cell Responses

Natural killer (NK) cells are an emerging cellular immunotherapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, the best approach to maximize NK cell anti-leukemia potential is unclear. Paradigm-shifting reports have shown that NK cells exhibit "memory-like" properties following hapten exposure, virus infection, or combined cytokine pre-activation. Human cytokine-induced memory-like (ML) NK cells display enhanced re-stimulation...
