Abstract
NK-cells as innate immunity elements manifest key reactions of antitumor immune response. NKG2D is an activating transmembrane receptor of NK-cells which is responsible for cytotoxicity initiation in response to the binding of specific ligands of genetically modified cells. Selective expression of NKG2D ligands provides a unique perspective on the therapy of wide variety of tumors. Acute myeloid leukemias (AML) are malignant hematological tumors with a high relapse risk. Due to the complexity of AML treatment strategy it is necessary to develop new approaches to tumor elimination using novel genetic constructs. Currently available CAR T-cell drugs with NKG2D receptor are successfully subjected to clinical studies in AML patients and prove their high therapeutic potential.
