Production of a novel bispecific protein ULBP1×CD19-scFv targeting the NKG2D receptor and CD19 to promote the activation of NK cells.

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent cytotoxic effector cells of the innate immune system and play an important role in tumor immunosurveillance and control. NKG2D is an activating receptor of NK cells. The NKG2D receptor-ligand system has contributed to immune cells recognizing tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment.
