A novel feeder cell based on 4-1BBL and membrane-bound IL-21/IL-15 induce highly expansion and anti-tumor effect of natural killer cells

Abstract Background Natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy is a promising approach for cancer treatment. However, its extensive clinical application was limited to the large-scale clinical-grade expansion of NK cells. In this study, we expanded NK cells from healthy donor’s peripheral blood mononucl...
