Natural killer (NK)-based adoptive transfer immunotherapy (ATI) outcome in a rat model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). (A) The tumor volume changes after 8 days of NK cell infusion. (B,C,D) Representative CD56-stained histology slices corresponding to subjects from the control group with transcatheter intra-hepatic arterial (IHA) saline (B), intravenous (IV) NK cell (C), and transcatheter IHA NK cell infusion after 8 days of infusion (D). (E) The IHA NK cell infusion group had a significantly (P<0.0001) improved number of CD56+ NKs compared to the control group. (B,C,D) Scale bars =100 µm. [Adapted from Su et al.
