     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS 
     This disclosure describes recombinant immune cells, methods of making the recombinant immune cells, and methods of using the recombinant immune cells. Generally, the recombinant immune cells are genetically modified to include a heterologous IgG Fc receptor. In some cases, the heterologous IgG Fc receptor can be a chimeric receptor engineered include domains from two or more receptors. In other embodiments, the heterologous may be an IgG Fc receptor that is not natively expressed by the immune cell. Generally, the recombinant immune cells provide a sustained cytotoxic immune response against a target—for example, a tumor cell—that is targeted for killing by the immune cell because the target binds a therapeutic antibody that is recognized by the IgG Fc receptor. 
     A mechanism of cell-mediated immune defense involves the engagement of antibodies attached to target cells by Fc receptors expressed by leukocytes, which results in target cell killing. This process is referred to antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been generated against a variety of tumor antigens and tested in clinical trials for treating infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and cancers including, for example, AML, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, neuroblastoma, and lymphoma. Many clinically successful mAbs use ADCC as a mechanism of action. A limitation of antibody therapy, however, is the development of resistance in patients and the non-responsiveness of some malignancies. 
     This disclosure describes an approach for augmenting Fc receptor interactions with therapeutic antibodies. The approach involves a chimeric receptor that includes a CD16A domain and a CD64 domain. 
     CD16A (FcγRIIIA) is an IgG Fc receptor expressed by human natural killer (NK) cells, a population of cytotoxic lymphocytes, and is their sole means of recognizing IgG bound to tumor cells or virus-infected cells. CD16A is a potent activating receptor that induces ADCC by NK cells ( FIG. 1 ). The CD16A transmembrane region is responsible for the association with CD3 and/or FcR γ-chain (FcRγ) that contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs ( FIG. 2 ;  FIG. 13A ), and the CD16A cytoplasmic domain interacts with intracellular molecules critical for receptor functions. CD16A is a low affinity FcγR with limited capacity to engage therapeutic mAb-coated target cells. CD16A also undergoes a rapid downregulation in expression upon cell activation that markedly reduces its cell surface density and avidity for IgG. CD16A downregulation occurs by a proteolytic event at an extracellular site proximal to the plasma membrane and is referred to as ectodomain shedding. The location of this cleavage site has been reported (Jing et al., 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788) and is shown schematically in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 13A . 
     CD64 (FcγRI) is another IgG Fc receptor, and is expressed by monocytes, macrophages, and activated neutrophils. CD64 is a high affinity IgG receptor. This receptor does not undergo ectodomain shedding upon cell activation and does not naturally transduce signals for ADCC in NK cells. 
     This disclosure describes a chimeric FcγR that includes a CD16A domain and a CD64 domain. The chimeric receptor includes the extracellular region of human CD64 and the cytoplasmic region of human CD16A, an exemplary embodiment of which is shown schematically in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 13A  as CD64/16A. In various embodiments, the chimeric CD64/CD16A receptor can include the CD64 transmembrane region or the CD16A transmembrane region. The CD64/16A construct has been engineered so that it lacks the CD16A extracellular cleavage site and thus is not susceptible to ectodomain shedding ( FIG. 2 ;  FIG. 13A ), but includes at least a portion of the CD16A intracellular region that is involved in intracellular signaling. 
     Also, while described herein in the context of an exemplary embodiment in which the CD64 domain and the CD16A contain amino acid sequences of human CD64 and human CD16A, respectively, the chimeric FcγR described herein can include an amino acid sequence that is, or is derived from, any suitable CD64 or CD16A natively expressed by any species.  FIG. 18  and  FIG. 19  provide amino acid sequence alignments of human and canine amino acid sequences for CD16A ( FIG. 18 ) and CD64 ( FIG. 19 ). 
     As used herein, the amino acid sequence of a domain is “derived from” a the amino acid sequence of a reference polypeptide if the amino acid sequence of the domain possesses a specified amount of sequence similarity and/or sequence identity compared to the amino acid sequence of the reference polypeptide. Sequence similarity of can be determined by aligning the residues of the two polypeptides (for example, the domain amino acid sequence and the amino acid sequence of the reference CD16A or CD64 polypeptide) to optimize the number of identical amino acids along the lengths of their sequences. Gaps in either or both sequences are permitted in making the alignment in order to optimize the number of identical amino acids, although the amino acids in each sequence must nonetheless remain in their proper order. 
     A pair-wise comparison analysis of amino acid sequences can be carried out using the BESTFIT algorithm in the GCG package (version 10.2, Madison Wis.). Alternatively, polypeptides may be compared using the Blastp program of the BLAST 2 search algorithm, as described by Tatiana et al., ( FEMS Microbiol Lett,  174, 247-250 (1999)), and available on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website. The default values for all BLAST 2 search parameters may be used, including matrix=BLOSUM62; open gap penalty=11, extension gap penalty=1, gap x_dropoff=50, expect=10, wordsize=3, and filter on. 
     The amino acid sequence of a domain is “derived from” a the amino acid sequence of a reference polypeptide if the amino acid sequence of the domain possesses a specified degree of amino acid sequence “identity” or amino acid sequence “similarity.” Amino acid sequence identity refers to the presence of identical amino acids. Amino acid sequence similarity refers to the presence of not only identical amino acids but also the presence of conservative substitutions. A conservative substitution for an amino acid may be selected from other members of the class to which the substituted amino acid belongs. For example, it is well-known in the art of protein biochemistry that an amino acid belonging to a grouping of amino acids having a particular size or characteristic (such as charge, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity) can be substituted for another amino acid without altering the activity of a protein, particularly in regions of the protein that are not directly associated with biological activity. For example, nonpolar (hydrophobic) amino acids include alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine. Polar neutral amino acids include glycine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, asparagine and glutamine. The positively charged (basic) amino acids include arginine, lysine and histidine. The negatively charged (acidic) amino acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid. Conservative substitutions include, for example, Lys for Arg and vice versa to maintain a positive charge; Glu for Asp and vice versa to maintain a negative charge; Ser for Thr so that a free —OH is maintained; and Gln for Asn to maintain a free —NH 2 . Likewise, biologically active analogs of a polypeptide containing deletions or additions of one or more contiguous or noncontiguous amino acids that do not eliminate a functional activity of the polypeptide are also contemplated. 
     The amino acid sequence of a CD16A domain or a CD64 domain is “derived from” a reference amino acid sequence if the domain amino acid sequence has at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence similarity to the reference amino acid sequence. 
     The amino acid sequence of a CD16A domain or a CD64 domain is “derived from” a reference amino acid sequence if the domain amino acid sequence has at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity to the reference amino acid sequence. 
     For the purpose of determining whether a domain amino acid sequence is “derived from” a specified reference amino acid sequence, exemplary suitable reference polypeptides include human CD16A (SEQ ID NO:6), canine CD16A (SEQ ID NO:5), human CD64 (SEQ ID NO:8), canine CD64 (SEQ ID NO:7), canine CD64sp (SEQ ID NO:25), or the corresponding domains of any of the constructs listed in Table 1. 
     Also, while described herein in the context of an exemplary embodiment, illustrated in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 13A , the chimeric receptor may be designed to include a different fusion points between CD64 and CD16A that that shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 13A , to include the CD16A cleavage region, modified functional motifs in regions of CD64 or CD16A, and/or adding an additional signaling domain, such as, for example, a signaling domain of CD27, CD28, CD134 (OX40), CD137 (4-1BB), FcRγ, or CD3. The chimeric receptor may therefore be designed to increase the proliferation of NK cells or other effector cells, increase survival of NK cells or other effector cells, increase potency of NK cells or other effector cells, and/or decrease NK cell exhaustion in vivo. 
     In certain embodiments, the chimeric FcγR can be modified to include a cytoplasmic domain or a signaling domain that confers additional functionality to the chimeric receptor. For example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of CD28, which transduces signals involved in T-cell proliferation, survival, and cytokine production. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of 4-1BB, which contributes to the clonal expansion, survival, and development of hematopoietic cells. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the CD3ζ cytoplasmic domain, which contains three immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) that trigger intracellular signal-transduction pathways for ADCC, cytokine production, and cell proliferation and survival. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the FcRγ cytoplasmic domain, which contains an ITAM that preferentially recruits Syk kinase to mediate intracellular signals for ADCC, cytokine production, and cell proliferation and survival. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the DAP10 cytoplasmic domain, which contains a YxxM motif that specifically activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathways for cytotoxicity, cell survival, and proliferation of NK and T cells. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the DAP12 cytoplasmic domain, which contains an ITAM that triggers signals for cytotoxicity, survival, and proliferation of NK cells and T cells. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the NKG2D (or CD314) transmembrane domain, which specifically associates with DAP10 to mediate signaling pathways for cytotoxicity, cell survival, and proliferation of NK and T cells. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the 2B4 (NKR2B4 or CD244) cytoplasmic domain, which transduces signals of cytolytic granule polarization involved in enhanced cytotoxicity of NK cells. As another example, a chimeric FcγR can include a functional portion of the high affinity IgE receptor FcεR transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, which are constitutively associated with its β-subunit and FcR γ-chain (FcRγ) to mediate the most potent degranulation signals in myeloid cells that initiates the allergic responses, which could be exploited for cancer therapy with the recombinant high affinity IgG Fc receptors. 
     Exemplary constructs that include exemplary cytoplasmic domain and/or signaling domain modifications are listed in Table 1.

     The CD64/16A chimeric receptor can be encoded by a cDNA that can be transcribed and translated from an expression vector introduced into a host cell to produce a recombinant cell. The host cell can include a suitable leukocyte-like cell or a primary leukocyte. Suitable leukocyte-like cells include, but are not limited to, a hematopoietic cell line or an induced pluripotent stem cell. Suitable primary leukocytes include, but are not limited to, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, or T lymphocytes. The expression of CD64/16A by genetically-engineered leukocytes can increase the recombinant cell&#39;s effector function in killing target cells—e.g., tumor cells and virus-infected cells—in the presence of natural and therapeutic antibodies compared to the unmodified host cell. Because the CD64/16A chimeric receptor binds to IgG with high affinity, it may also be feasible to attach therapeutic mAbs to effector cells expressing the construct prior to their administration into patients. Hence, CD64/16A with an attached therapeutic mAb would provide the effector cells with a targeting element to direct them to cancer locations. 
     NK92 cells are a human NK cell line that lacks expression of endogenous CD16A. NK cells were generated that express in a stable manner wildtype CD16A, wildtype CD64, or the exemplary chimeric receptor CD64/16A. NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A could be stained with an anti-CD64 mAb, but not with an anti-CD16 mAb ( FIG. 3A ). NK92-CD16A cells could be stained with an anti-CD16 mAb, but not with an anti-CD64 mAb ( FIG. 3B ). NK92 cells expressing CD64 could be stained with an anti-CD64 mAb, but not by and isotype-matched negative control mAb ( FIG. 20A ). 
       FIG. 3C  shows the ability of NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A or CD16A to bind trastuzumab, a therapeutic mAb specific to HER2/EGFR2 overexpressed by certain malignancies. Non-transduced NK92 cells, NK92-CD64/16A cells, and NK92-CD16A cells were incubated with trastuzumab (5 μg/ml) for two hours at room temperature, washed to remove unbound antibody, incubated with an anti-human IgG second stage antibody conjugated to a fluorophore, and then examined by flow cytometry. NK92-hCD64/16A cells bound much higher levels of trastuzumab than did NK92-CD16A cells and NK92 cells. 
       FIG. 4  presents data that shows the exemplary chimeric receptor CD64/16A conferred NK92 cells with an ADCC effector function. NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A or wildtype CD16A were incubated with the human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 (20:1 ratio) in the presence or absence of trastuzumab at various concentrations (0.005 μg/ml, 0.05 μg/ml. 0.5 μg/ml, or 5 μg/ml). NK92 cells expressing either CD64/16A or wildtype CD16A demonstrated SKOV-3 cytotoxicity in the presence of trastuzumab. NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A had higher levels of target cell killing than did NK92-CD16A cells at all trastuzumab concentrations examined ( FIG. 4A ). NK92 cells expressing either CD64 also demonstrated SKOV-3 cytotoxicity in the presence of trastuzumab ( FIG. 20B ). In addition, NK92-CD64/16A and NK92-CD16A cells were pretreated with trastuzumab at 5 μg/ml or 10 μg/ml for two hours, washed to remove unbound antibody, and then incubated with SKOV-3 cells. In this assay, NK92-CD64/16A cells demonstrated a marked enhancement in target cell killing when compared to NK92-CD16A cells ( FIG. 4B ). 
     CD64/16A also was expressed in iPSCs and these cells were then differentiated into NK cells (referred to here as iNK cells). As shown in  FIG. 5 , iNK cells transduced with either CD64/16A or the empty vector (pKT2) as a control were compared for their expression of several NK cell markers. iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells are CD56 +  and CD3 − , indicating that they are indeed NK cells. They also expressed similar levels of various NK cell markers. iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells were found to express similar levels of CD16A, whereas only iNK-CD64/16A were stained by an anti-CD64 mAb ( FIG. 5 ). 
     iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells were evaluated for ADCC, as described above for the NK92 cells. iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells were incubated with SKOV-3 cells at 10:1 ratio in the presence or absence of trastuzumab (5 μg/ml). iNK-CD64/16A cells demonstrated increased SKOV-3 cytotoxicity in the presence of trastuzumab and higher levels of ADCC when compared to iNK-pKT2 cells ( FIG. 6 ). 
     Although the iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells expressed similar levels of CD16A ( FIG. 5 ), the function blocking anti-CD16A mAb 3G8 only blocked ADCC by the iNK-pKT2 cells ( FIG. 6 ). Conversely, the function blocking anti-CD64 mAb 10.1 only blocked ADCC by the iNK-CD64/16A cells ( FIG. 6 ). iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells were also pretreated with trastuzumab at 10 μg/ml for two hours, washed to remove unbound antibody, and then incubated with SKOV-3 cells. In this assay, iNK-CD64/16A cells demonstrated a distinct enhancement in target cell killing when compared to iNK-pKT2 cells ( FIG. 7 ). MA148 is a human ovarian cancer cell line that expresses considerably lower levels of HER2 when compared to SKOV-3 cells. ADCC was evaluated in iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells when exposed to MA148 cells at various ratios in the presence or absence of trastuzumab (5 μg/ml). Again, iNK-CD64/16A cells demonstrated significantly higher levels of tumor cell killing than did iNK-pKT2 cells at all effector to target cell ratios when in the presence of trastuzumab ( FIG. 8 ). 
     The chimeric receptor CD64/16A ( FIG. 2 ;  FIG. 13A ) was stably expressed in the human NK cell line NK92. These cells lack endogenous FcγRs but transduced cells expressing exogenous CD16A can mediate ADCC. As shown in  FIG. 13B , an anti-CD64 mAb stained NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A cells, but not parent NK92 cells or NK92 cells expressing CD16A. An anti-CD16 mAb stained NK92 cells expressing CD16A, but not NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A or parent NK92 cells ( FIG. 13B ). CD16A undergoes ectodomain shedding by ADAM17 upon NK cell activation resulting in its rapid downregulation in expression. CD16A and its isoform CD16B on neutrophils is cleaved by ADAM17, and this occurs at an extracellular region proximal to the cell membrane. The ADAM17 cleavage region of CD16A is not present in CD64 or CD64/16A ( FIG. 13A ). CD16A underwent a &gt;50% decrease in expression upon NK92 stimulation by ADCC, whereas CD64/16A demonstrated little to no downregulation ( FIG. 13C ). 
     To evaluate the function of CD64/16A, the ability of CD64/16A to initiate E:T conjugation, induce ADCC, and stimulate cytokine production upon NK cell engagement of antibody-bound tumor cells was examined. Prior to the release of its granule contents, an NK cell forms a stable conjugate with a target cell. NK92-CD64/16A cell and SKOV-3 cell conjugation were examined using a two-color flow cytometric approach. SKOV-3 cells are an ovarian cancer cell line that express HER2, and this assay was performed in the absence and presence of the anti-HER2 therapeutic mAb trastuzumab. The bicistronic vector containing CD64/16A also expressed eGFP and its fluorescence was used to identify the NK92 cells. SKOV-3 cells were labeled with the fluorescent dye CellTrace Violet. E:T conjugation resulted in two-color events that were evaluated by flow cytometry. Incubating NK92-CD64/16A cells with SKOV-3 cells resulted in a very low level of conjugation after initial exposure that increased after 60 minutes of exposure ( FIG. 14A ). However, in the presence of trastuzumab, NK92-CD64/16A cell and SKOV-3 conjugation was appreciably enhanced ( FIG. 14A ). This increase in conjugation corresponded with higher levels of target cell killing. As shown in  FIG. 14B , SKOV-3 cell cytotoxicity by NK92-CD64/16A cells varied depending on the trastuzumab concentration and E:T ratio. To confirm the role of CD64/16A in the induction of target cell killing, the ADCC assay was performed in the presence and absence of the anti-CD64 mAb 10.1 ( FIG. 14C ), which blocks IgG binding. Cytokine production is also induced during ADCC and NK cells are major producers of IFNγ. NK92-CD64/16A cells exposed to SKOV-3 cells and trastuzumab produced considerably higher levels of IFNγ than when exposed to SKOV-3 cells alone ( FIG. 14D ). Taken together, the above findings demonstrate that the CD64 component of the recombinant receptor engages tumor-bound antibody, and that the CD16A component promotes intracellular signaling leading to degranulation and cytokine production. 
     CD64 is distinguished from the other FcγR members by its unique third extracellular domain, which contributes to its high affinity and stable binding to soluble monomeric IgG. NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A or the CD16A-176V higher affinity variant were compared for their ability to capture soluble therapeutic mAbs. The NK92 cell transductants examined expressed similar levels of CD64/16A and CD16A ( FIG. 15A ). NK92 cell transductants were incubated with trastuzumab for two hours, excess antibody was washed away, stained with a fluorophore-conjugated anti-human IgG antibody, and then evaluated by flow cytometry. As shown in  FIG. 15B , NK92-CD64/16A cells captured considerably higher levels of trastuzumab than did the NK92-CD16A cells (8.1 fold increase±1.3, mean±SD of three independent experiments). Moreover, the NK92-CD64/16A cells efficiently captured the tumor-targeting mAbs cetuximab and rituximab, as well as the fusion protein L-selectin/Fc ( FIG. 15C ). 
     NK92-CD64/16A cells with a captured tumor-targeting mAb were tested to determine whether the cells mediated ADCC. For this assay, equal numbers of NK92-CD64/16A and NK92-CD16A cells were incubated with the same concentration of soluble trastuzumab, washed, and exposed to SKOV-3 cells. Target cell killing by NK92-CD64/16A cells with captured trastuzumab was significantly higher than NK92-CD64/16A cells alone, and was superior to NK92-CD16A cells treated with or without trastuzumab at all E:T ratios examined ( FIG. 15D ). In contrast, SKOV-3 cytotoxicity by NK92-CD16A and NK92-CD64/16A cells was not significantly different when trastuzumab was present and not washed out ( FIG. 15E ), thus demonstrating equivalent cytotoxicity by both transductants. Taken together, these findings show that NK92 cells expressing CD64/16A can stably bind soluble anti-tumor mAbs and IgG fusion proteins, and that these can serve as targeting elements to kill cancer cells. 
     Expression and Function of CD64/16A in iPSC-Derived NK Cells 
     Undifferentiated iPSCs were transduced to express CD64/16A using a Sleeping Beauty transposon plasmid for nonrandom gene insertion and stable expression. iPSCs were differentiated into hematopoietic cells and then iNK cells as described in the EXAMPLE 2. CD34 + CD43 + CD45 +  cells were generated, further differentiated into iNK cells, and these cells were expanded for analysis using recombinant IL-2 and aAPCs. CD56 + CD3 −  is a hallmark phenotype of human NK cells, and these cells composed the majority of our differentiated cell population ( FIG. 16 ). Expression of activating and inhibitory receptors on the iNK cells also were assessed and compared to expression by peripheral blood NK cells. Certain receptors, such as CD16A, were expressed by similar proportions of the two NK cell populations. The expanded iNK cells, however, lacked expression of the inhibitory KIR receptors KIR2DL2/3, KIR2DL1, and KIR3DL1 and also certain activating receptors (NKp46 and NKG2D) ( FIG. 16 ). Another difference compared to peripheral blood NK cells was that the iNK cells were stained with an anti-CD64 mAb ( FIG. 16 ), demonstrating the expression of CD64/16A. 
     To assess the function of CD64/16A in iNK cells, iNK cells derived from iPSCs transduced with either an pKT2 empty vector or pKT2-CD64/16A were compared. The NK cell markers mentioned above were expressed at similar levels and proportions by two iNK cell populations (data not shown), including CD16A ( FIG. 17A ), but only iNK-CD64/16A cells were stained by an anti-CD64 mAb ( FIG. 17A ). Both iNK tranductants demonstrated increased SKOV-3 cell killing when in the presence of trastuzumab, yet iNK-CD64/16A cells mediated significantly higher levels of ADCC than did the iNK-pKT2 control cells ( FIG. 17B ). The anti-CD16 function blocking mAb 3G8, but not the anti-CD64 mAb 10.1, effectively inhibited ADCC by the iNK-pKT2 cells ( FIG. 17B ). Conversely, 10.1, but not 3G8, blocked ADCC by the iNK-CD64/16A cells ( FIG. 17B ). These findings show that the iNK cells were cytolytic effectors responsive to CD16A and CD64/16A engagement of antibody-bound tumor cells. 
     Also, iNK-CD64/16A and iNK-pKT2 cells were treated with soluble trastuzumab, excess antibody was washed away, and the cells were exposed to SKOV-3 cells. Under these conditions, ADCC by the iNK-CD64/16A cells was strikingly higher than the iNK-pKT2 cells ( FIG. 17C ), further establishing that CD64/16A can capture soluble anti-tumor mAbs that serve as a targeting element for tumor cell killing. 
     Taken together, the data show that CD64/16A binds therapeutic mAbs with higher affinity than CD16A. Moreover, CD64/16A expressed in NK92 cells and iNK cells confers cells with the ability to mediate higher levels of ADCC than NK92 cells and iNK cells expressing wildtype or endogenous CD16A, respectively. NK cells expressing CD64/16A facilitated cell conjugation with antibody-bound tumor cells, cytotoxicity, and IFNγ production, demonstrating function by both components of the recombinant FcγR. NK92 cells and iNK cells expressing CD64/16A can be pre-loaded with a therapeutic mAb prior to their exposure to target cells. Cells expressing the chimeric receptor and preloaded with therapeutic antibody may allow one to modify engineered NK cells with different therapeutic mAbs for targeting elements of multiple types of cancer. Finally, CD64/16A lacks the ADAM17 cleavage region found in CD16A and it did not undergo the same level of downregulation in expression during ADCC. 
     CD64/16A was shown to be functional in two NK cell platforms, the NK92 cell line and primary NK cells derived from iPSCs. NK92 cells lack inhibitory KIR receptors and show high levels of natural cytotoxicity compared to other NK cell lines derived from patients. NK92 cells have been broadly used to express modified genes to direct their cytolytic effector function, have been evaluated in preclinical studies, and are undergoing clinical testing in cancer patients. iPSCs are also very amendable to genetic engineering and can be differentiated into NK cells expressing various receptors to direct their effector functions. The iNK cells generated in this study lacked several inhibitory and activating receptors that are indicators of an immature state. In some applications, therapeutic iNK cells lacking inhibitory receptors and certain activating receptors may allow for more directed and/or effective tumor cell killing by engineered receptors. 
     The iNK cells expressed endogenous CD16A and mediated ADCC, thus they were cytotoxic effector cells. An individual NK cell can kill multiple tumor cells in different manners. This includes by a process of sequential contacts and degranulations, referred to as serial killing, and by the localized dispersion of its granule contents that kills surrounding tumor cells, referred to as bystander killing. Inhibiting CD16A shedding has been reported to slow NK cell detachment from target cells and reduce serial killing by NK cells in vitro. Due to the CD64 component and its lack of ectodomain shedding, NK cells expressing CD64/16A could be less efficient at serial killing and more efficient at bystander killing. 
     NK cells expressing CD64/16A have several potential advantages as a therapeutic in combination with a therapeutic antibody. Modifying NK cells expressing CD64/16A with an antibody can reduce the dosage of therapeutic antibodies administered to patients. Fusion proteins containing a human IgG Fc region, such as L-selectin/Fc, also can be captured by CD64/16A and this may provide further options for directing the tissue and tumor antigen targeting of engineered NK cells. The NK92 and iNK cell platforms for adoptive cell therapies also can be readily genetically modified on a clonal level and expanded into clinical-scalable cell numbers to produce engineered NK cells with improved effector activities as an off-the-shelf therapeutic for cancer immunotherapy. 
     In some embodiments, iPSC-derived NK cells that express CD64/16A can exhibit increased in vivo anti-cancer activity in the presence of therapeutic mAbs. For example, NOD/SCID/γc −/−  (NSG) mice and human cancer cell lines that are stably engineered to express firefly luciferase can be used for bioluminescent imaging to test iNK cell activity against cancer cells. The SKOV-3 and MA148 ovarian cancer cell line cans serve as model in vivo targets. NSG female mice can be subjected to sublethal irradiation, then injected intraperitoneally with tumor cells for bioluminescent imaging to quantify tumor growth or regression. Mice are given IL-2 and/or IL-15 every other day for four weeks to promote in vivo survival of the NK cells. Therapeutic antibody (e.g., trastuzumab) can be administered—e.g., once weekly for four weeks. Tumor growth/regression can be monitored by, for example, bioluminescent imaging and weighing the mice. Mice also can be bled (e.g., weekly) to quantify human NK cell survival, and one can further evaluate the expression/cell surface levels of various effector function markers by FACS. Evidence of metastasis can be determined by, for example, harvesting internal organs and examining the internal organs for metastasis. 
     In some embodiments, the number of cells in the therapeutic composition is at least 0.1×10 5  cells, at least 1×10 5  cells, at least 5×10 5  cells, at least 1×10 6  cells, at least 5×10 6  cells, at least 1×10 7  cells, at least 5×10 7  cells, at least 1×10 8  cells, at least 5×10 8  cells, at least 1×10 9  cells, or at least 5×10 9  cells, per dose. In some embodiments, the number of cells in the therapeutic composition is about 0.1×10 5  cells to about 1×10 6  cells, per dose; about 0.5×10 6  cells to about 1×10 7  cells, per dose; about 0.5×10 7  cells to about 1×10 8  cells, per dose; about 0.5×10 8  cells to about 1×10 9  cells, per dose; about 1×10 9  cells to about 5×10 9  cells, per dose; about 0.5×10 9  cells to about 8×10 9  cells, per dose; about 3×10 9  cells to about 3×10 10  cells, per dose, or any range in-between. Generally, 1×10 8  cells/dose translates to 1.67×10 6  cells/kg for a 60 kg patient.

     Some variation in dosage will necessarily occur depending on the condition of the subject being treated. The person responsible for administration will, in any event, determine the appropriate dose for the individual subject. 
     In some embodiments, the therapeutic use of cells is a single-dose treatment. In some embodiments, the therapeutic use of derived hematopoietic lineage cells is a multi-dose treatment. In some embodiments, the multi-dose treatment is one dose every day, every 3 days, every 7 days, every 10 days, every 15 days, every 20 days, every 25 days, every 30 days, every 35 days, every 40 days, every 45 days, or every 50 days, or any number of days in-between. 
     A compositions that includes a population of cells described herein can be sterile, and can be suitable and ready for administration (i.e., can be administered without any further processing) to human patients. A cell-based composition that is ready for administration means that the composition does not require any further processing or manipulation prior to transplant or administration to a subject. In some embodiments, such a population of cells can include an isolated population of cells that are expanded and/or modulated prior to administration with one or more agents. 
     In certain embodiments, the primary stimulatory signal and the co-stimulatory signal for the therapeutic cells can be provided by different protocols. For example, the agents providing each signal can be in solution or coupled to a surface. When coupled to a surface, the agents can be coupled to the same surface (i.e., in “cis” formation) or to separate surfaces (i.e., in “trans” formation). Alternatively, one agent can be coupled to a surface and the other agent in solution. In one embodiment, the agent providing the co-stimulatory signal can be bound to a cell surface and the agent providing the primary activation signal is in solution or coupled to a surface. In certain embodiments, both agents can be in solution. In another embodiment, the agents can be in soluble form, and then cross-linked to a surface, such as a cell expressing Fc receptors or an antibody or other binding agent that will bind to the agents such as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20040101519 and 20060034810 for artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) that are contemplated for use in activating and expanding T lymphocytes. 
     The therapeutic compositions suitable for administration to a patient can include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (additives) and/or diluents (e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable medium, for example, cell culture medium), or other pharmaceutically acceptable components. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents are determined in part by the particular composition being administered, as well as by the particular method used to administer the therapeutic composition. Accordingly, there is a wide variety of suitable formulations of therapeutic compositions (see, e.g., Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17 th  ed. 1985, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety) well known to those of skill in the art. 
     In particular embodiments, therapeutic cell compositions having an isolated population the cells as described herein also have a pharmaceutically acceptable cell culture medium, or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents. A therapeutic composition comprising a population of the cells as disclosed herein can be administered separately by intravenous, intraperitoneal, enteral, or tracheal administration methods or in combination with other suitable compounds to affect the desired treatment goals. 
     These pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents can be present in amounts sufficient to maintain a pH of the therapeutic composition of between about 3 and about 10. As such, the buffering agent can be as much as about 5% on a weight to weight basis of the total composition. Electrolytes such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride and potassium chloride can also be included in the therapeutic composition. In one aspect, the pH of the therapeutic composition is in the range from about 4 to about 10. Alternatively, the pH of the therapeutic composition is in the range from about 5 to about 9, from about 6 to about 9, or from about 6.5 to about 8. In another embodiment, the therapeutic composition includes a buffer having a pH in one of said pH ranges. In another embodiment, the therapeutic composition has a pH of about 7. Alternatively, the therapeutic composition has a pH in a range from about 6.8 to about 7.4. In still another embodiment, the therapeutic composition has a pH of about 7.4. 
     This disclosure also provides the use of a pharmaceutically acceptable cell culture medium in particular compositions and/or cultures of cells as described herein. Such compositions are suitable for administration to human subjects. Generally speaking, any medium that supports the maintenance, growth, and/or health of the iPSC-derived immune cells are suitable for use as a pharmaceutical cell culture medium. In particular embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable cell culture medium is a serum free, and/or feeder-free medium. In various embodiments, the serum-free medium is animal-free, and can optionally be protein-free. Optionally, the medium can contain biopharmaceutically acceptable recombinant proteins. Animal-free medium refers to medium wherein the components are derived from non-animal sources. Recombinant proteins replace native animal proteins in animal-free medium and the nutrients are obtained from synthetic, plant or microbial sources. Protein-free medium, in contrast, is defined as substantially free of protein. One having ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the above examples of media are illustrative and in no way limit the formulation of suitable media suitable and that there are many alternative suitable media known and available to those in the art. 
     In the preceding description and following claims, the term “and/or” means one or all of the listed elements or a combination of any two or more of the listed elements; the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” and variations thereof are to be construed as open ended—i.e., additional elements or steps are optional and may or may not be present; unless otherwise specified, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” are used interchangeably and mean one or more than one; and the recitations of numerical ranges by endpoints include all numbers subsumed within that range (e.g., 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, 5, etc.). 
     In the preceding description, particular embodiments may be described in isolation for clarity. Unless otherwise expressly specified that the features of a particular embodiment are incompatible with the features of another embodiment, certain embodiments can include a combination of compatible features described herein in connection with one or more embodiments.

     EXAMPLES 
     Example 1 
     Generation of Human CD64/16A Expression Constructs 
     Total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) using TRIzol total RNA isolation reagent (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, Calif.). Human PBL cDNA was synthesized with the SuperScript Preamplification System (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, Calif.). The CD64/16A includes a human CD64 extracellular domain (CD64-EC) and CD16A transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains (CD16A-TM-CY). The chimeric construct was generated by overlapping PCR to create EcoR I-flanked RT-PCR products of chimeric cDNA. CD64-EC cDNA fragment (885 bps) was amplified from human PBL cDNA using the forward primer 5′-CGG  GAA TTC  GGA GAC AAC ATG TGG TTC TTG ACA A-3′(SEQ ID NO:28) and reverse primer 5′-TTG GTA CCC AGG TGG AAA GAA GCC AAG CAC TTG AAG CTC CAA-3′; SEQ ID NO:29). CD16A-TM-CY cDNA fragment (195 bps) was amplified from human PBL cDNA using the forward primer 5′-TTG GAG CTT CAA GTG CTT GGC TTC TTT CCA CCT GGG TAC CAA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:30) and reverse primer 5′-CCG  GAA TTC  TCA TTT GTC TTG AGG GTC CTT TCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO:31). The PCR fragments of CD64-EC cDNA and CD16A-TM-CY cDNA were purified with QIAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and mixed together with the forward primer 5′-CGG  GAA TTC  GGA GAC AAC ATG TGG TTC TTG ACA A-3′ (SEQ ID NO:32) and the reverse primer 5′-CCG  GAA TTC  TCA TTT GTC TTG AGG GTC CTT TCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO:33). For all primers listed above, underlined nucleotides are the EcoR I cutting site) to generate RT-PCR products for the chimeric receptor. RT-PCR was performed with Pfx50 DNA polymerase (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, Calif.). The resultant CD64/CD16a cDNA was inserted into retrovirus expression vector pBMN-IRES-EGFP (Addgene, Cambridge, Mass.) and pKT2 Sleeping Beauty transposon vector (Jing et al. 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788; Hermanson et al. 2016 . Stem Cells  34:93-101). The sequences of all cloned constructs were confirmed by direct sequencing from both directions on an ABI 377 sequencer with ABI BigDye terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Foster City, Calif.). 
     Stable Expression of CD64/16A in NK Cells 
     NK92 cells, a human NK cell line that is deficient for endogenous CD16A expression, were stably transduced with pBMN-IRES-EGFP retrovirus expression constructs containing CD64/16A or wildtype CD16A cDNA using retrovirus infection procedures described previously (Jing et al. 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788). Human iPSCs (UCBiPS7, derived from umbilical cord blood CD34 cells) were stably transduced with the CD64/16A-pKT2 expression construct using a Sleeping Beauty transposon system, as previously described (Jing et al. 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788). The transduced iPSC cells were differentiated into hematopoietic cells then mature NK cell as previously described (Jing et al. 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788). eGFP fluorescence and surface expressions of CD64, CD16, and various NK cell phenotypic markers were determine using flow cytometry analysis.

     Generation of Human CD64/16A 
     Total RNA was isolated from human peripheral blood leukocytes using TRIzol total RNA isolation reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) and cDNA was synthesized with the SuperScript preamplification system (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). The recombinant CD64/16A is comprised of human CD64 extracellular domain and CD16A transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. PCR fragments for CD64 (885 bps) and CD16A (195 bps) were amplified from the generated cDNA. The PCR fragments were purified and mixed together with the forward primer 5′-CGG  GAA TTC  GGA GAC AAC ATG TGG TTC TTG ACA A-3′ (SEQ ID NO:28), the reverse primer 5′-CCG  GAA TTC  TCA TTT GTC TTG AGG GTC CTT TCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 31), and Pfx50 DNA polymerase (Invitrogen) to generate the recombinant CD64/16A receptor. For both primers, underlined nucleotides are EcoR I sites. CD64/CD16A and CD16A cDNA (CD16A-176V variant) was inserted into the retroviral expression vector pBMN-IRES-EGFP and virus was generated for NK92 cell transduction, as previously described (Jing et al., 2015 . PLoS One  10(3):e0121788). Additionally, CD64/CD16A cDNA was inserted into the pKT2 sleeping beauty transposon vector and used along with SB100X transposase for iPSC transduction, as previously described (Jing et al., 2015 . PLoS One  10(3):e0121788). The nucleotide sequences of all constructs were confirmed by direct sequencing from both directions on an ABI 377 sequencer with ABI BigDye terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). 
     Cells 
     This study was carried out in accordance with and approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Minnesota. All subjects gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Fresh human peripheral blood leukocytes from plateletpheresis were obtained from Innovative Blood Resources (St. Paul, Minn.). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were further enriched using Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden) and NK cells were purified by negative depletion using an EasySep human NK cell kit (StemCell Technologies, Cambridge, Mass.), as per the manufacturer&#39;s instructions, with &gt;95% viability and 90-95% enrichment of CD56 + CD3 −  lymphocytes. Viable cell counting was performed using a Countess II automated cell counter (Life Technologies Corporation, Bothell, Wash.). The human NK cell line NK92 and the ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, Va.) and cultured per the manufacturer&#39;s directions. The NK92 cells required IL-2 for growth (500 IU/ml), which was obtained from R&amp;D Systems (Minneapolis, Minn.). For all assays described below, cells were used when in log growth phase. 
     The iPSCs UCBiPS7, derived from umbilical cord blood CD34 cells, have been previously characterized and were cultured and differentiated into hematopoietic progenitor cells as described with some modifications (Jing et al., 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788; Ni et al., 2013 . Methods in molecular biology  1029:33-41; Knorr et al., 2013 . Stem Cells Transl Med  2(4):274-283; Ni et al., 2014 . Stem Cells  32(4):1021-1031; Hermanson et al., 2016 . Stem Cells  34(1):93-101). iPSCs culture and hematopoietic differentiation was performed using TeSR-E8 medium and a STEMdiff Hematopoietic Kit (StemCell Technologies, Cambridge, Mass.), which did not require the use of mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells, TrypLE adaption, spin embryoid body formation, or CD34 +  cell enrichment. iPSC cells during passage were dissociated with Gentle Cell Dissociation Reagent (StemCell Technologies, Cambridge, Mass.), and iPSC aggregates ≥50 μm in diameter were counted with a hemocytometer and diluted to 20-40 aggregates/ml with TeSR-E8 medium. Each well of a 12-well plate was pre-coated with Matrigel Matrix (Corning Inc., Tewksbury, Mass.) and seeded with 40-80 aggregates in 2 ml of TeSR-E8 medium. Cell aggregates were cultured for 24 hours before differentiation with the STEMdiff Hematopoietic Kit (StemCell Technologies, Cambridge, Mass.) according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions. At day 12 of hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation, the percentage of hematopoietic progenitor cells was determined using flow cytometric analysis with anti-CD34, anti-CD45, and anti-CD43 mAbs. NK cell differentiation was performed as previously described (Woll et al., 2009 . Blood  113(24):6094-6101). The iPSC-derived NK cells (referred to here as iNK cells) were expanded for examination using γ-irradiated K562-mbIL21-41BBL feeder cells (1:2 ratio) in cell expansion medium [60% DMEM, 30% Ham&#39;s F12, 10% human AB serum (Valley Biomedical, Winchester, Va.), 20 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50 μM ethanolamine, 20 μg/ml ascorbic Acid, 5 ng/ml sodium selenite, 10 mM HEPES, and 100-250 IU/ml IL-2 (R&amp;D Systems)], as described previously (Jing et al., 2015 . PLoS One  10:e0121788; Knorr et al., 2013 . Stem Cells Transl Med  2(4):274-283; Ni et al., 2014 . Stem Cells  32(4):1021-1031; Hermanson et al., 2016.  Stem Cells  34(1):93-101). 
     Cell Staining, Flow Cytometry, and ELISA 
     For cell staining, nonspecific antibody binding sites were blocked and cells were stained with the indicated antibodies and examined by flow cytometry, as previously described (Romee et al, 2013 . Blood  121(18):3599-3608; Jing et al., 2015.  PLoS One  10:e0121788; Mishra et al., 2018 . Cancer Immunol Immunother  67(9):1407-1416). For controls, fluorescence minus one was used as well as appropriate isotype-matched antibodies since the cells of interest expressed FcRs. An FSC-A/SSC-A plot was used to set an electronic gate on leukocyte populations and an FSC-A/F SC-H plot was used to set an electronic gate on single cells. A Zombie viability kit was used to assess live vs. dead cells, as per the manufacturer&#39;s instructions (BioLegend, San Diego, Calif.). 
     To assess the capture of soluble trastuzumab, rituximab, cetuximab, or L-selectin/Fc chimera, transduced NK cells were incubated with 5 μg/ml of antibody for two hours at 37° C. in MEM-α basal media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) supplemented with IL-2 (200 IU/ml), HEPES (10 mM), and 2-mercaptoethanol (0.1 mM), washed with MEM-α basal media, and then stained on ice for 30 minutes with a 1:200 dilution of APC-conjugated F(ab′)2 donkey anti-human IgG (H+L). To detect recombinant human L-selectin/Fc binding, cells were stained with the anti-L-selectin mAb APC-conjugated Lam1-116. 
     To compare CD16A, CD64, and CD64/16A staining levels on NK92 cells, the respective transductants were stained with a saturating concentration of unconjugated anti-CD16 (3G8) or anti-CD64 (10.1) mAbs (5 μg/ml), washed extensively with dPBS (USB Corporation, Cleveland, Ohio) containing 2% goat serum and 2 mM sodium azide, and then stained with APC-conjugated F(ab′)2 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L). This approach was used since directly conjugated anti-CD16 and anti-CD64 mAbs can vary in their levels of fluorophore labeling. ELISA was performed by a cytometric bead-based Flex Set assay for human IFNγ (BD Biosciences, San Jose, Calif.) per the manufacturer&#39;s instructions. All flow cytometric analyses were performed on a FACSCelesta instrument (BD Biosciences). Data was analyzed using FACSDIVA v8 (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo v10 (Ashland, Oreg.). 
     Cell-Cell Conjugation Assay and ADCC 
     The pBMN-IRES-EGFP vector used to express CD64/16A in NK92 cells also expresses eGFP. These cells were incubated for two hours at 37° C. in MEM-α basal media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) supplemented with IL-2 (200 IU/ml), HEPES (10 mM), and 2-mercaptoethanol (0.1 mM). SKOV-3 cells were labeled with CellTrace Violet (Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oreg.) per the manufacturer&#39;s instructions, incubated with 5 μg/ml trastuzumab for 30 minutes and washed with the MEM-α basal media. NK92 cells and SKOV-3 cells were then resuspended in the supplemented MEM-α basal media at 1×10 6  and 2×10 6 /ml, respectively. For a 1:2 E:T ratio, 100 μl of each cell type was mixed together, centrifuged for one minute at 20×g and incubated at 37° C. for the indicated time points. After each time point, the cells were gently vortexed for three seconds and immediately fixed with 4° C. 1% paraformaldehyde in dPBS. Samples were immediately analyzed by flow cytometry. The percentage of conjugated NK cells was calculated by gating on eGFP and CellTrace Violet double-positive events. 
     To evaluate ADCC, a DELFIA EuTDA-based cytotoxicity assay was used according to the manufacturer&#39;s instructions (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.). Briefly, target cells were labeled with Bis(acetoxymethyl)-2-2:6,2 terpyridine 6,6 dicarboxylate (BATDA) for 30 minutes in their culture medium, washed in culture medium, and pipetted into a 96-well non-tissue culture-treated U-bottom plates at a density of 8×10 4  cells/well. A tumor targeting mAb was added at the indicated concentrations of 5 μg/mL and NK cells were added at the indicated effector:target (E:T) ratios. The plates were centrifuged at 400×g for one minute and then incubated for two hours in a humidified 5% CO 2  atmosphere at 37° C. At the end of the incubation, the plates were centrifuged at 500×g for five minutes and supernatants were transferred to a 96-well DELFIA Yellow Plate (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.) and combined with europium. Fluorescence was measured by time-resolved fluorometry using a BMG Labtech CLARIOstar plate reader (Cary, N.C.). BATDA-labeled target cells alone with or without therapeutic antibodies were cultured in parallel to assess spontaneous lysis and in the presence of 2% Triton-X to measure maximum lysis. The level of ADCC for each sample was calculated using the formula: Percent Specific Release=(Experimental release counts−Spontaneous release counts)/(Maximal release−Spontaneous release counts)×100%. For each experiment, measurements were conducted in triplicate using three replicate wells. 
     Statistical Analyses 
     Statistical analyses were performed by use of GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, Calif., USA). After assessing for approximate normal distribution, all variables were summarized as mean±SD. Comparison between two groups was done with Student&#39;s t-test, with p&lt;0.05 taken as statistically significant.

In the event that any inconsistency exists between the disclosure of the present application and the disclosure(s) of any document incorporated herein by reference, the disclosure of the present application shall govern. The foregoing detailed description and examples have been given for clarity of understanding only. No unnecessary limitations are to be understood therefrom. The invention is not limited to the exact details shown and described, for variations obvious to one skilled in the art will be included within the invention defined by the claims. 
     Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of components, molecular weights, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. 
     Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. All numerical values, however, inherently contain a range necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. 
     All headings are for the convenience of the reader and should not be used to limit the meaning of the text that follows the heading, unless so specified.
