The established CAR-TIM3 iPSCs can be differentiated into CAR-TIM3 NK-like cells, which were further proven to have enhanced anti-tumor activity against TIM3-positive AML cells with minimal effect on TIM3-negative cells when compared with wild-type (WT) NK-like cells from parental iPSCs. Here, HAVCR2 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
