Figure Lengend Snippet: CARs with humanized HRS3-specific scFv recognize CD30 + tumor cells. (A) B cell lymphoma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) cell lines were stained with a monoclonal antibody specific for the CD30 antigen and analyzed using flow cytometry. CD30 expression was evident in a majority of the cell lines after staining with an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody (Pink) when compared to staining with control antibody (Blue). Raji was used as negative control. (B) Flow-cytometry analyses in a representative donor showing CAR expression. (C) T cells expressing hHRS3-CAR and HRS3-CAR exhibited cytotoxicity against the non-HL and HL cell lines in a 24-h assay. Graphs show mean ± SEM of duplicate wells. One of two representative experiments with different donor cells and similar results is shown. (D) IFN-γ concentrations in the supernatants of CD30-CAR-T-cells after stimulation with Raji, L428, and L540 cells for 24 h, analyzed by ELISA. (E,F) In vitro cytotoxic assay to evaluate cytolytic activity of NC T cells (Blue line), CD19-CAR-T cells (Purple line), HRS3-CAR-T cells (Red line) and hHRS3-CAR-T cells (Black line) on CD30 + lymphoma cell lines, namely L428 and L540 cells. The results are presented as the mean volume ±SD, * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001 vs CD19 (CD19 as negative control). (G) Diagram of the full-length overexpressing human CD30 vector. (H,I) Detection of Raji and Raji-CD30 cell killing and cytokines (CD19 as positive control). “NC” represents uninfected T cells (negative control). “MOCK” indicates the transgenic plant that contained only the vector construct (negative control). The data were derived from different donor cells and the in vitro experiments were repeated independently at least three times. The results are presented as the mean volume ±SD, * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001 vs NC.
