  • Title: Can NK cells be a therapeutic target in human cancer?
    Author: Chan CJ, Andrews DM, Smyth MJ.
    Journal: Eur J Immunol; 2008 Nov; 38(11):2964-8. PubMed ID: 18979512.
    Abstract:
    Our current knowledge of NK-cell recognition and effector function suggests that it will be possible to design various new NK-cell-based immunotherapies against human cancer. The application of NK cells is already showing promise using HLA-mismatched haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of haematological malignancies. A better understanding of NK-cell heterogeneity and function will only broaden the applications for human cancer. Here we review the key developments that will propel this field.
