Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) CAR architecture used for the in vitro assessment of CAR activity. (B) Expression of CARs based on ten CD22-specific miniCARbids and scFvs HA22, m971-1xG 4 S and m971-4xG 4 S as benchmarks in Jurkat Nur77 reporter cells was assessed via anti-MAP-tag staining by flow cytometry (average ± SD, n=3, biological replicates). (C) Activation of CD22-specific CARs in Jurkat Nur77 reporter cells in the presence or absence of a 2-fold excess of NALM6 target cells was assessed via the expression of mKO2 by flow cytometry (average ± SD, n=3, biological replicates). (D) Cytotoxicity of CD22-specific CAR T cells and mock T cells (no CAR) against Raji cells (E:T 2:1, average ± SD, n=4, biological replicates). (E and F) Release of IFN-γ (E) and IL-2 (F) analyzed via ELISA. The cytokines were analyzed in the supernatants of co-cultures with Raji cells (E:T 2:1, average ± SD, n=4, biological replicates). (G) Cytotoxicity of CD22-specific CAR T cells and mock T cells (no CAR) against NALM6 cells (E:T 2:1, average ± SD, n=4, biological replicates). (H and I) Release of IFN-γ (H) and IL-2 (I) analyzed via ELISA. The cytokines were analyzed in the supernatants of co-cultures with NALM6 cells (E:T 2:1, average ± SD, n=4, biological replicates). Statistical analysis was performed using a repeated measure One-Way ANOVA with a Tukey post hoc test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). The statistical analysis for the cytokine concentration was performed using log-transformed values. Parts of this figure were created with BioRender.com.
Article Snippet: Selection campaigns started with magnetic bead selections using Dynabeads Biotin Binder (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described previously., Yeast display selections for miniCARbids against CD22 were based on a soluble, biotinylated CD22 protein (AcroBiosystems, SI2-H82E3).
