Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and compositions related to targeting of BCMA-expressing cells by NK cells specifically engineered to bind the BCMA antigen. In particular embodiments, NK cells that are manipulated to expressing BCMA-targeting chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are utilized to target cancers that express BCMA. In certain embodiments, vectors that express the BCMA-targeting CARs also express particular suicide genes and/or particular cytokines.
