Figure Lengend Snippet: Optimization of electroporation conditions for circRNA expression in Human CD3 + T cells. A Comparison of EGFP expression in T cells electroporated with circRNA at different voltages (1400V, 1600V, and 1800V). B Flow cytometry analysis of anti-DLL3 CAR expression at varying electroporation voltages. C Evaluation of CAR expression and apoptosis rates in T cells electroporated with various concentrations of circRNA (1–6 µg/million cells). D Assessment of immunogenicity in circRNA and mRNA-transfected T cells under optimized electroporation conditions. E Assessment of CAR expression duration in circRNA and mRNA-transfected T cells. F Evaluation of cell proliferation in circRNA and mRNA-transfected T cells using the CCK-8 assay. G Evaluation of cell proliferation in circRNA and mRNA-transfected T cells using the CFSE assay. circRNA circular RNA, mRNA messenger RNA, EGFP enhanced green fluorescent protein, CAR-T chimeric antigen receptor T cell, DLL3 Delta-like Ligand 3, CCK-8 Cell Counting Kit-8, CFSE Carboxyfluorescein Succinimidyl Ester
