Introduction

NK Cell therapy is an exciting frontier in immunotherapy, that harnesses the potential of natural killer (NK) cells to target and eradicate cancer.

NK cells are isolated and expanded from peripheral blood or cord blood sources. They are then genetically modified to express Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) on their surface. The introduction of CARs can be achieved through gene transfer techniques, including viral vectors or non-viral methods.

Following genetic modification, CAR NK cells undergo a phase of expansion and growth to obtain sufficient cell numbers for therapy.

Enable efficient, stable CAR expression

As with many primary cells, NK cells have proven challenging to engineer. Our electroporation technology enables highly efficient delivery of mRNA and is gentle on cells, resulting in increased high-affinity CD16 receptor expression. Partner with us to make your engineering easier.
