Figure Lengend Snippet: Armoring NK cells with CAR27/IL-15 results in enhanced antitumor activity against multiple myeloma. A, Schematic of the retroviral vector used to transduce CB-NK cells. B, Flow cytometry histogram assay of CD70 surface protein levels in NCI-H929 (blue) and MM.1S (magenta) cells. C, 51 Cr release assay of NT or CAR27/IL-15 NK cells against CD70 + MM.1S or ( D ) CD70 − NCI-H929 tumor cells at different E:T ratios and measured 4 hours after coincubation ( n = 3). E, MM.1S tumor cells transduced to express mKATE were cultured alone or with NT, IL-15, or CAR27/IL-15 NK cells. The number of MM.1S cells was measured over time with sequential images from the Incucyte machine. Representative images from 0 Hours (baseline) and after 24 Hours after coculture are shown. White bar, 400 μm. F, The percentage of initial MM.1S cells from panel ( E ) is plotted for each group over 30 hours. Bar graph (right) shows the AUC analysis. G, The Incucyte killing assay was repeated for NT and CAR27/IL-15 NK cells against the CD70-positive U266B1 myeloma cell line. Bar graph (right) shows the AUC analysis. Data are represented as mean ± SD. Data for the AUC graphs are represented as mean ± SEM. The P values were determined by two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons ( C ), one-way ANOVA with Tukey multiple comparison ( F ), and unpaired t test ( G ). ***, P ≤ 0.001. ICD, intracellular domain; LTR, long terminal repeats; TMD, transmembrane domain.
