Recently developed culture conditions for expanding and activating natural killer (NK) cells may improve immunotherapeutic options for patients with multiple myeloma. We have previously shown that co-incubation of NK cells from multiple myeloma patients and healthy donors with K562 cells genetically modified to express membrane-bound interleukin 15 and the co-stimulatory molecule 41BBL (K562-mb15-41BBL) leads to a dramatic increase in both NK cell number and anti-myeloma activity in vitro.
