Additional Information

Additional Relevant Details In this preclinical study, the specific phenotype and functionality of human NK-cells when redirected to AFM13-coated tumor cells, as well as their responsiveness to cytokines, were analyzed. The results show that AFM13 improves NK-cell cytotoxicity against CD30+ tumor cells that are resistant to naïve NK-cells. Using CFSE-labelled NK-cells, the researchers demonstrated that AFM13 amplifies cytokine–mediated NK-cell proliferation and expansion by enhancing the NK-cells’ sensitivity to IL-2 and IL-15. These data indicate that cytokine administration in combination with AFM13 might potentially enhance NK-cell activity in the tumor microenvironment.
