These data demonstrate a unique, off the shelf CAR19-iNKT cell platform for targeting hematological malignancies that combines the specificity of CD19 targeting CAR with the innate features of iNKT cells. The data indicates that iNKT cells are a potent cell type for generating allogeneic off the shelf products for treating a broad spectrum of hematological malignancies and solid tumors by targeting different receptors on the respective tumors.
