Abstract

Source: Sterner, R. M. et al., Using CRISPR/Cas9 to Knock Out GM-CSF in CAR-T Cells. J. Vis. Exp. (2019)

The video outlines a process for creating genetically modified CAR T cells through the CRISPR-Cas9 System. Infecting T cells with CRISPR and CAR lentiviruses results in modifications to the target gene and the synthesis of a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR, ultimately leading to the formation of genetically modified CAR T cells.

Protocol

1. CART19 cell production T-cell isolation, stimulation, and ex-vivo culture Carry out all cell culture work in a cell culture hood utilizing appropriate personal protective equipment. Harvest peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from de-identified normal donor blood cones collected during apheresis as these are known to be a viable source of PBMCs. To isolate PBMCs, add 15 mL of a density gradient medium to a 50 mL density gradient separation tube. Dilute the don…
