Abstract

Repetitive infusions of ex vivo expanded NK cells induced antitumor T-cell responses in a metastatic lung cancer mouse model. These were further potentiated by Treg depletion. Thus the combination of NK cell-based immunotherapy with other treatment modalities in the direction of adaptive response enhancement might promote long lasting antitumor immunity.
