Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 3 Efficient cytotoxicity of Nectin4-7.19 CAR-T cells in vitro. (A) Expression of Nectin4 on a panel of cancer cell lines. (B) Cytotoxicity of Nectin4 CAR-T cells against ABC-1, HT1376, and MDA-MB-453 cells was detected by xCELLigence RTCA label-free technology. The left panel compares the cytotoxicity between Nectin4 CAR-T and CD19 CAR-T cells against target cells at an Effect/Target ratio of 10:1; the right panel shows the killing efficacy of Nectin4 CAR-T cells at different Effect/Target ratios. Arrows refer to the addition of CAR-T cells. The y-axis is the normalized cell index generated by the RTCA software and displayed in real time to reflect the vitality of tumor cells. The x-axis is the time of cell culture in hours. (C) Nectin4 and GFP expression in Luc. ABC-1 cells transfected with lentivirus encoding the Luciferase-T2A-GFP gene. (D) Quantified data on the specific lytic levels of Nectin4 CAR-T and Nectin4-7.19 CAR-T cells against Luc. ABC-1 cells were assessed by luciferase bio-luminescence technique at different Effect/Target ratios in vitro. UTD served as a negative control. (E) Expression level of immune checkpoints was detected by flow cytometry after co-culture of Nectin4 CAR-T or Nectin4-7.19 CAR-T cells with ABC-1 cells at an Effect/Target ratio of 1:1 for 5 days. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments; ns, no significant difference, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, t-test.
Article Snippet: The sections were rewarmed at 37°C for at least 45 min and incubated in the secondary antibody enhancement solution at room temperature for 20 min and then the secondary goat F (ab) anti-mouse IgG H&L (HRP) antibody (Abcam) at 37°C for 30 min. For Nectin4 staining, sections were stained with 10 mg/ ml primary goat anti-human Nectin4, affinity-purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # AF2659, R&D Systems) at 4°C overnight.
