iRGD Tumor Penetrating Peptide-Modified NK Cells Exhibit Enhanced Tumor Immune Infiltration Ability and Anti-Tumor Efficacy
In summary, our results indicated that NK cells exhibited higher efficacy and lifespan against cancer cell lines in vitro. Furthermore, the integration of iRGD into NK cells led to improved infiltration and targeted elimination of MCTSs. Moreover, the application of iRGDmodified NK cells has shown significant anti-tumor efficacy against solid tumors in vivo. This joint strategy may significantly improve the efficacy of NK cell immunotherapy in treating various solid tumors.
