doi: 10.1136/jitc-2023-007515
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7 CD79b CARs specially recognized human CD79b protein. (A) CAR T cells targeting CD79b were generated from primary healthy donor T cells, stained with fluorochrome labeled recombinant human CD19-Fc, CD79a-Fc, or CD79b-Fc proteins, and assessed by flow cytometry. Transduction efficiency determined by eGFP expression and binding of recombinant proteins is shown. (B–D) CAR constructs targeting CD19 or CD79b were transduced lentivirally into Jurkat-Lucia NFAT reporter cell line and cultured alone or with the indicated lymphoma cell lines at an effector:target (E:T) ratio of 1:1 or with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies. NFAT activation was determined after 24 hours by measuring luciferase activity. Percentage of Jurkat-Lucia NFAT reporter cells expressing CD19 or CD79b CAR was determined by assessing eGFP transduction marker by flow cytometry (B). Luciferase activity shown in Jurkat-Lucia NFAT reporter cells transduced with 79b CAR construct and cultured alone or with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies or Daudi Burkitt lymphoma cells (C). Luciferase activity shown in Jurkat-Lucia NFAT reporter cells transduced with the indicated CD19 or CD79b CAR constructs and cultured alone or with isogenic SUDHL6 lymphoma cell lines (parent, CD19KO, CD79bKO, or CD19KOCD79bKO). (E) Cytotoxic activity of CD19 or CD79b CAR T cells generated from healthy donor T cells against isogenic cell lines of SUDHL6 (parent, CD19KO, CD79bKO, or CD19KOCD79bKO). (F) Cytotoxic activity of CD79b CAR T cells against wild type Jeko-1 and PDX203 5D4 (CD19+CD79b+), Jeko-1 CD19KO, Jeko-1 CD79bKO, or NALM6 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CD19+CD79b–) cell lines at an E:T ratio of 1:1. The absolute number of live tumor cells at the end of culture period from this experiment are shown in online supplemental figure 10. (G and H) Luciferase- labeled Jeko-1 CD19KO or Jeko-1 CD79bKO tumor cells (0.2×106 /mouse) were injected via tail vein into NSG mice on day −4 and CD79b CAR T cells or untransduced T cells (5×106 /mouse) were injected via tail vein on day 0. Tumor burden was monitored by bioluminescence imaging at the indicated time points (G) and average radiance (photons/sec/cm2/steradian) of groups of mice on day 39 is shown (H). Data represent the mean±SD of replicate wells (N=2) where applicable and is representative of at least three separate experiments from two different donors (C–F). ****p<0.0001; ***p<0.001; **p<0.01; *p<0.05; (ns) p>0.05. CAR, chimeric antigen receptor; eGFR, enhanced green fluorescent protein; HD, healthy donor; KO, knock-out; RLU, relative luminescence units.
Article Snippet: Surface expression of CD79b CAR was detected using fluorochrome labeled recombinant human CD79b- Fc protein (Creative BioMart) or goat anti- mouse IgG F(ab)2 fragment (Jackson ImmunoResearch).
