Figure Lengend Snippet: Heavy chain only construct VH33CAR activity in vivo . (A) Study design schema: NOD- scid IL2Rg null (NSG) mice were injected with 0.5 × 10 6 luciferase-enabled MOLM-14 tumor cells i.v . on day 0. On day 6, mice were dosed i.v . with 5 × 10 6 CART + cells. Tumor burden was evaluated weekly by bioluminescence, between days 14-35. Blood was collected for analysis on Day 19. (B) Immunofluorescent Imaging of experimental groups was performed on study days 14, 21, 28, 35. TA- tumor alone, UTD-untransduced T cell control, CAR33VH–single chain only anti CD33 CAR, My96CAR–positive control CAR. Images were acquired on IVIS Lumina and analyzed by Living Image software (PerkinElmer). (C) Tumor burden was assessed by bioluminescent imaging on study days 14, 21, 28, 35. N = 6 mice per group, average radiance ± SEM was plotted for each time point. TA- tumor alone, UTD-untransduced T cell control. (D) Survival analysis of treated mice. While all animals survived to day 35 in CAR33VH and My96CAR groups, animals in the control groups survived only up to day 21. Retro-orbital bleeds were obtained from surviving mice on study day 19. (E) MOLM-14 tumor cells (CD45 + /Singlets/Live/GFP + ) and (F) . CAR T + cells (CD45 + /Singlets/Live/CD3 + /CAR + ) in blood samples were analyzed by flow cytometry. Total cell count was determined by volumetric flow cytometry, normalized using CountBright beads added during sample preparation. N = 6 for CAR groups, N = 4 for UTD; mean ± SEM. One way ANOVA with multiple comparisons analysis, **** p < 0.0001. Survival data were compared by log-rank Mantel-Cox test, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Briefly, the phage library was cycled through three rounds of panning against biotinylated recombinant human CD33-Fc fusion protein (R&D Biosystems, Minneapolis, MN) and specific binders were identified from the third round of panning using soluble expression-based monoclonal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (semELISA) as described previously ( ).
