Study Arms (2)
KIR mismatch aloreactive NK donor cells
ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Three patients from each cohort will receive NK aloreactive cells from a KIR mismatch donor
Biological: Alloreactive NK cells
NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15 from KIR match donor
EXPERIMENTAL
Three patients in each cohort will receive ex vivo stimulated NK cells with IL-15 from a KIR match donor.
Biological: NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15
Interventions
NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15Biological
When patient and donor are KIR-HLA match, the patient submits all HLA class I molecules, or in the absence of any, your donor does not have this molecule, or having it lacks the corresponding KIR receiver.
