IL15 and neoplasm: Tumor-infiltrating CAR-IL-15 iNK cells exhibited high levels of CAR, IL-15, and NK-activating receptors, negligible checkpoint exhaustion markers, and extremely low levels of NK suppressive factors CISH, TGFBR2, and BATF, enabling them to sustain activation, metabolic fitness, and effective tumor killing within TGF-β–rich hypoxic tumor microenvironment.
