Webinar: Preclinical Models to Investigate NK Cell-Targeted Immunotherapies
Our webinar “Preclinical Models to Investigate NK Cell-Targeted Immunotherapies” was live on Aug 31, 2022 at 1PM EDT.
In this webinar, we
- Reviewed the mechanisms driving NK cell activity in the context of immuno-oncology, and the types of NK-targeted immunotherapies currently under investigation
- Introduced experimental models used to evaluate these immunotherapies, including syngeneic models and xenograft models
