On Tuesday, Shares of NantKwest (NASDAQ:NK), gained 38.56% to $34.64.
NantKwest (NK), is a pioneering, next generation, clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on harnessing the unique power of our immune system using natural killer (NK) cells to treat cancer, infectious diseases and inflammatory diseases. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to the innate ability of NK cells to rapidly identify and destroy cells under stress, such as cancer or virally-infected cells.
NantKwest’s unique NK cell based platform, with the capacity to grow active killer cells as a biological cancer therapy, has been designed to induce cell death against cancer or infected cells by three different modes of action: (1) Direct killing using activated NK cells (aNK) that release toxic granules directly into the cell through cell to cell contact, (2) Antibody-mediated killing using haNKs, which are NK cells engineered to incorporate a high affinity receptor that binds to an administered antibody, enhancing the cancer cell killing effect of that antibody, and (3) Targeted activated killing using taNKs, which are NK cells engineered to incorporate chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to target tumor-specific antigens found on the surface of cancer cells.
NantKwest, Inc., a biotechnology company, develops immunotherapeutic agents for various clinical conditions. It is initiating a Phase II clinical trial for its activated natural killer product candidate for the treatment of virally-induced cancers, such as polyomavirus induced Merkel cell carcinoma, human Papillomavirus, induced cervical cancer, and head and neck cancer, in addition to infectious diseases comprising Ebola and other viral, fungal, and bacterial infections.
