Abstract

Cells, such a T-cells, are provided that comprise cytokine receptors having increased activity in response to their ligand. For example, cell can comprise IL-2 and/or IL-15 receptors having increased surface expression or signaling activity. Cells of the embodiments have a significant growth advantage in the presence of cytokines and can be used, e.g., for enhanced adoptive cell transfer therapies.
