1. A human immune cell comprising a genetic disruption of a HPK-1 gene, wherein the immune cell further comprises a recombinant receptor expressed on the surface of the immune cell or a polynucleotide encoding the recombinant receptor, wherein the recombinant receptor specifically binds to an antigen, and wherein the immune cell is capable of inducing enhanced cytotoxicity upon binding of the recombinant receptor to the antigen on a target cell compared to a control immune cell not comprising a genetic disruption of the HPK-1 gene.
