We use a CRISPR screening platform based on adeno-associated virus and the Sleeping Beauty transposon (AAV-SB-CRISPR) to perform in vivo CRISPR screens in primary natural killer (NK) cells across four different tumor models, and identify calcium homeostasis modulator family member 2 (CALHM2) as an NK cellular checkpoint protein.
