The application provides methods for generating a therapeutic composition. The method includes the steps of providing a cell material comprising a cytotoxic cell, incubating the cell material with a first GNC protein to provide an activated cell composition, wherein the activated cell composition comprises a first therapeutic cell, and formulating the activated cell composition to provide a therapeutic composition, wherein the therapeutic composition is substantially free of exogenous viral and non-viral DNA or RNA. The first GNC protein comprises a first cytotoxic binding moiety and a first cancer targeting moiety, wherein the first cytotoxic binding moiety has a specificity to a first cytotoxic cell receptor and is configured to activate the first cytotoxic cell, and wherein the first cancer targeting moiety has a specificity to a first cancer cell receptor. The first therapeutic cell comprises the first GNC protein bound to the cytotoxic cell through the first cytotoxic cell receptor.
