The DNA damage response (DDR), which is frequently activated in cancer cells, has been proposed to operate as an early barrier against oncogenesis. We have recently shown that ATM mediates the spontaneous regression of Eμdriven murine B-cell leukemia in a natural killer and T cell-dependent manner. The DDR partially enhanced immune recognition by stimulating the expression of the DNAM-1 ligand CD155.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease in which clonal plasma cells proliferate abnormally. In patients with MM, the number and function of NK cells are suppressed, resulting in reduced immune surveillance and clearance of myeloma cells. Restoring or enhancing the killing effect of NK cells on myeloma cells is an important strategy for MM immunotherapy.

Plasma cell myeloma (multiple myeloma) is a blood cancer characterized by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Treatment strategies evolve year by year, new drugs getting Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved each year. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies are an advanced form of immunotherapy that engineer T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

Adoptive cellular therapy, or the collection and transfer of immune cells to patients, is emerging as a treatment option for many malignancies, especially hematologic malignancies, with a growing role in solid tumors and non-malignant conditions such as autoimmune diseases. The adoptive transfer of the innate immune cell natural killer (NK) cells is uniquely poised as a potential therapy alone or as an adjunct to other immune-targeted therapies for patients with cancer, with several advantages over other cell therapies such as T cells. We review key concepts in NK cells as a therapy for human disease and discuss key trials using NK cells in malignancy.

To better understand the contribution of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) receptor signaling to vaccine-induced immunity, we employed A129 (IFN-α/β receptor-deficient) and AG129 (IFN-α/β/γ receptor-deficient) mouse models. AG129 mice induced comparable levels of virus-specific IgG after vaccination with influenza virus H5 hemagglutinin (HA) virus-like particles (VLPs). Vaccinated AG129 mice with HA VLPs exhibited impaired Th1-immune responses, lower hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titers, increased susceptibility to virus infection, and lower survival rates following influenza virus (H5N1) challenge than vaccinated A129 mice.

Glucose restriction generally limits tumor growth. Recently, Wu et al. reported that glucose restriction inhibits primary tumors but promotes lung metastasis by forming a macrophage-dominated, natural killer (NK) cell-deficient pre-metastatic niche (PMN).
