Research Abstract |
Genetic modification and ex vivo expansion of human natural killer cells were investigated in order to overcome cellular resistance of leukemia, with special interests in the following subjects: 1) feasibility and applicability of the method using the peripheral blood (PB) obtained from patients who suffer from relapse after cord blood transplantation (CBT), 2) improvement of the signal transduction of the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptors, 3) improvement of NK cell persistence after in vivo infusion. In this study, ex vivo expansion and genetic modification of donor-derived NK cells from the patients’ PB was shown to be feasible in CBT recipients. The donor-derived NK cells from the patients’ PB were able to expand ex vivo, were susceptible to retroviral gene transduction and exerted powerfulcytotoxicity against CD19^+ leukemia cells via anti-CD19-chimeric receptors.
