Natural Killer Cell Activity Enhancement (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Immunomodulatory Strategy, Cellular Therapy, Cytokine Signaling
01
Overview
Natural killer cell activity enhancement refers to strategies and interventions aimed at increasing the cytotoxic function of NK cells, a critical component of the innate immune system. These strategies include cytokine stimulation, adoptive cell therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and genetic modification to boost NK cell activity against virally infected and tumor cells.
