A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11879010B2) outlines a method for inducing cytotoxicity in cancer cells in individuals with cancer, suspected of having cancer, or at risk of developing cancer. The method involves contacting the cancer cell with a specific antibody that binds to a particular antigen on the cancer cell's surface, followed by the introduction of natural killer (NK) cells that target the antibody-bound cancer cells, thereby triggering cytotoxicity in the cancer cells. This innovative approach aims to enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells, potentially improving treatment outcomes.

Furthermore, the patent describes a method for delivering NK cells to cancer cells in individuals with cancer, suspected of having cancer, or at risk of developing cancer. By utilizing a specific antibody with a targeting ligand that binds to the cancer cell's surface antigen, followed by the introduction of NK cells with a targeting agent that interacts with the antibody's ligand, the method facilitates the delivery of NK cells to the cancer cells. This targeted delivery approach could potentially enhance the efficacy of NK cell-based therapies for cancer treatment, offering a promising avenue for improving patient outcomes in the fight against cancer.
