Targeting the immunotherapy potential of cytokines IL-12 and IL-18 with new advancements in protein engineering

Drug Target Review

Natural killer (NK) cells are another immune cell type that, as the name suggests, also have potent cell-killing activity, and have a well-known role in the anti-tumour immune response. In the context of a tumour microenvironment, Tregs are often present in high numbers, preventing an effective immune response to the tumour.
