Abstract:Natural killer (NK) cells have emerged as promising effectors in cancer immunotherapy due to their ability to recognize and eliminate tumor cells. To investigate the immunological memory and tumor reactivity of adaptive (a)NK cells in the context of desmoplastic tumors, we used human ovarian cancer as a model. Through in vitro culture systems resembling dendritic cell (DC)-mediated T cell activation, we demonstrated that aNK cells exhibit antigen-specific cytotoxic responses and memory generation towards ovari… Show more
