The remarkable clinical outcomes of the treatment for B-cell malignancies through the application of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells have made adoptive immunotherapy with genetically modified immune effector cells a hotspot in the field of antitumor. However, numerous toxicities of CAR-T cells have been identified. Thus, some studies have resorted to another cytotoxic cell, NK-92 cell, to reach for better efficacy with minimal toxicity. Preclinical studies have confirmed the safety and feasibility of the genetically modified NK-92 cells with highly specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, it is expected that NK-92 cell becomes another ideal carrier for CAR for its unique advantages over primary NK cells, parental NK-92 cells and autologous T cells.
