A "Prime and Expand" strategy using the multifunctional fusion proteins to generate memory-like NK cells for cell therapy. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Immunother)
The resulting "Prime and Expand" ML NK cells exhibited elevated metabolic capacity, stable epigenetic IFNG promoter demethylation, enhanced antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, and superior persistence in NSG mice. Thus, the "Prime and Expand" strategy represents a simple feeder cell-free approach to streamline manufacturing of clinical-grade ML NK cells to support multidose and off-the-shelf ACT.

WU-NK-101 (W-NK), a Memory-like (ML) NK Cell, Naturally Overcomes Tumor Microenvironment (TME) Metabolic Challenges, Retaining Anti-Tumor Potency (ASH 2023)
Overall, W-NK inherently survives and maintains function in the TME, a limiting factor for immune cell-based ACT. These data herald the promise of NK cell therapy; a Phase 1 clinical study of W-NK in acute myeloid leukemia is currently open and enrolling patients (NCT# 05470140).
