NK Cells for Cancer
Natural Killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in cancer immunotherapy due to their ability to target and kill cancer cells without prior sensitization. At CKM Stem Cells, we harness the power of NK cells to offer cutting-edge treatments for individuals battling cancer. Our NK cell therapies involve the use of adoptive transfer of allogeneic NK cells, which have been shown to enhance anti-tumor responses and improve patient outcomes
How It Works
Natural Killer (NK) cells are a vital part of the immune system, known for their ability to identify and destroy cancer cells and virally infected cells. Unlike other immune cells, NK cells do not need to recognize specific markers on the surface of abnormal cells. Instead, they can detect stress signals from these cells, which allows them to respond quickly.
Once an NK cell identifies a target, it releases substances called perforin and granzymes. Perforin creates small openings in the target cell’s membrane, and granzymes enter through these openings to trigger a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. This process effectively eliminates the harmful cells from the body.
NK cell therapy offers numerous benefits, including the ability to target and destroy cancer cells without prior sensitization. These cells enhance the body’s natural immune response, reducing tumor growth and improving overall immune function. The therapy is particularly beneficial for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, providing a promising option for those seeking advanced cancer treatment solutions
Sources and Safety
At CKM Stem Cells, we source our NK cells from umbilical cord blood (UCB). These cells undergo rigorous expansion and activation processes in our state-of-the-art laboratory, ensuring they are safe, potent, and effective. Our protocols adhere to stringent regulatory standards, guaranteeing the highest quality of cell therapy for our patients
