Overview

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived natural killer cells with autocrine feeder signaling are an experimental adoptive cellular immunotherapy designed to overcome the expansion and persistence limitations of conventional NK cell products. These cells are generated by differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into hematopoietic progenitors and subsequently into mature NK cells. To eliminate the need for exogenous feeder cells (such as irradiated K562 cells) and exogenous cytokines, the cells are genetically engineered via viral transduction to express a self-feeder system consisting of CD86, 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL), and a bispecific single-chain variable fragment (scFv) targeting interleukin-21 (IL-21) signaling. This autocrine loop provides continuous costimulatory and cytokine signals, promoting robust cell proliferation, prolonged viability, and enhanced cytotoxic activity against malignant cells even after repeated challenges.
