Use avidity to identify the best NK cell with optimal response

Use avidity to identify the best NK cell with optimal response

In addition to autologous cellular therapy, allogeneic strategies may facilitate an off-the-shelf solution, including NK cells as a prime example.

In this assay, researchers from Glycostem Therapeutics B.V. compared cell avidity data with cell killing by evaluating NK functionalities from two different donors (donor 1 and donor 2).

NK cells from donor 2 induced 3-fold higher cytotoxicity compared with  NK cells from donor 1 (74% and 24%, respectively). NK cells from donor 2 required higher forces than those from donor 1 to detach from target cells (Figure 1).

The data suggest that cell avidity is a reliable predictor of NK cell function and that cell avidity analyses can be applied to different types of immune cells.
