This disclosure describes, generally, a modified form of CD16, genetically-modified cells that express the modified CD16, and methods that involve the genetically-modified cells. The modified form of CD16 can exhibit increased anti-tumor and/or anti-viral activity due, at least in part, to reduced susceptibility to ADAM17-mediated shedding upon NK cell stimulation.
