The immune system is a powerful entity comprised of tissues, cells and soluble proteins. Moreover, they  interact with each other to clear the body from invaders from the outside world (like virusses, bacteria, fungi, parasites) or from dangers coming from inside our body (like cancer). CiMaas develops one of these cells, the Natural Killer (NK) cells as an advanced cellular therapeutic product. In addition, proteins (antibodies) may enhance the cellular actions, mimicking and surpassing the natural immune system to kill tumor cells.

NK cells can be expanded into the billions using special manufactured feeder cells. K562 cells have been transducer with membrane bound IL-21 and 4-1BBL to optimize the expansion rate of NK cells.
