Therapeutic startegies to harness NK cells in HIV infection. (A) NK cell activation strategies through broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), engineered proteins, Bi-specific or Tri-specific Killer engagers (BiKEs or TriKEs), soluble mediators such as cytokines and TLR agonists to boost NK effector functions including cytotoxicity and cytokine production. (B) Release of NK inhibition via engagement of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) directly against inhibitory receptors NKG2A and inhibitory Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (iKIRs). (C) CAR-engineered NK cells to target HIV infected cells. PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cells; HSPCs, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells; iPSC, induced pluripotent stem cells; CB, cord blood.
