Abstract
Natural Killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapies are becoming increasingly popular for treating solid tumors due to their role in tumor surveillance. However, much is still unknown about NK/cancer cell interactions in metastasis, including which stage of metastasis NK cells most often target cancer cells. Additionally, fundamental differences between murine and human immune systems limit the value of murine model systems in studying NK cell-based immunotherapies, such as Trispecific Killer Engagers (TriKEs). Therefore, we developed microfluidic models of metastasis to study NK/cancer cells interactions and TriKEs as an immunotherapy.
