abstract：:Natural killer cells are an essential component of the innate immune system and play a crucial role in immunity against malignancies, without, at difference with T cells, requiring antigen priming or inducing graft-versus-host-disease. Hence, Natural Killer cells can provide a valuable source of allogeneic "off-the-sh...
