Journal ArticleDOI

IL-2-driven regulation of NK cell receptors with regard to the distribution of CD16+ and CD16- subpopulations and in vivo influence after haploidentical NK cell infusion.

TL;DR: The data indicate that IL-2 stimulation increases the expression of activating receptors and emphasizes mechanisms beside KIR/human leukocyte antigen and the results suggest that the expansion period of purified NK cells has to be individualized to optimize NK cell immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-2-activated haploidentical NK cells restore NKG2D-mediated NK-cell cytotoxicity in neuroblastoma patients by scavenging of plasma MICA.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the provided excess of NKG2D leads to clearance of sMICA and preserves cytotoxicity of dNK cells via non‐occupied NKG 2D, which identifies this tumor immune escape mechanism as a target to improve immunotherapy of neuroblastoma and presumably other tumors.
