This study used a two‐stage culture system to efficiently produce natural killer (NK) cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the absence of cell sorting and without need for xenogeneic stromal cells. Although different hESC and iPSC lines had varying efficiencies in hematopoietic development, all cell lines tested could produce functional NK cells. This improved method to develop NK cells from human pluripotent stem cells provides a system for clinical‐scale expansion of antitumor lymphocytes and a genetically amenable platform to study human NK cell development.
