Abstract

This video demonstrates a technique for generating antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells through retroviral transduction. Activated murine CD8+ T cells are added to a microwell plate coated with recombinant fibronectin fragments. Retroviral vectors containing transgenic RNA encoding an antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) are then introduced, and the plate is centrifuged to facilitate transduction. After incubation, the transduced cells express antigen-specific CARs on their surface.
Protocol
1. Generation and validation of single chain Fab antibody (scFab)-CARs. NOTE: CARs typically contain 3 critical domains—an antigen-targeting domain, a spacer/transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic signaling domain. The precise design of each CAR depends on the intended target, and so, apart from the key features of the construct relevant to the generation of the retrovirus, will not be described in detail in this protocol. The overall design of the CARs u…
Representative Results
Figure 1: Schematic of the CAR retroviral construct. The CAR comprises a targeting domain derived from the Fab fragment of a suitable mouse monoclonal antibody, and a spacer/ membrane anchor/ signaling domain from mouse CD28, CD137 and CD247. The synthetic cDNA is inserted into the pMIG-II retroviral expression vector. Restriction endonuclease sites used for generating the mAb287-CAR are shown.</…
