Recombinant stable NK-92 cell line constitutively expressing firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase under the control of a CMV promoter.
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: human
Supplied as Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of cell freezing medium (Biohippo, #79796)
Background
T cells expressing Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs) have shown promising results in targeting tumor cells expressing specific antigens. However, CAR-T cell therapy comes with specific risks such as Graft versus Host Disease or cytokine storm. Natural Killer (NK) cells are also cytotoxic to cancer cells and can make a good alternative to CAR-T with reduced risk or side effects. NK-92 cells are a human Interleukin-2 (IL-2)-dependent NK cell line derived from a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. NK-92 cells can be used to generate Chimeric Antigen Receptor-modified Natural Killer cells (CAR-NK).
Application
