Figure Lengend Snippet: Generation of the CD147 CAR lentiviral vectors and lentiviral transduction of CD147 CAR into the CD147 KO THP-1 cells. A Schematic representation of the CGW CD147 CAR plasmid vector and lentiviral vector production. LTR, Long terminal repeat; MND, a modified enhancer/promoter of the murine myeloproliferative sarcoma virus promoter; CAR, chimeric antigen receptor; sp, signal peptide; scFv, single chain fragment variable; TM, transmembrane domain; Co-SD, co-stimulatory signaling domain; mEGFP, monomeric enhanced green fluorescent protein (Created by BioRender.com/Mahidol University). B Representative fluorescent microscopic images of the WT THP-1 and CD147 CAR-transduced THP-1 cells on day 2 post-transduction, scale bar = 200 µm. C Flow cytometric analysis of the CD147 CAR-transduced THP-1 cells on day 5 pre- and post-sorting. D Representivative confocal microscopy images demonstrating the binding of the CD147 scFv molecules to the recombinant CD147Rg in the WT THP-1 cells and the CD147 CAR THP-1 cells. (63 × oil immersion objective of the Zeiss LSM 800 confocal microscope, scale bar = 10 µm)
Article Snippet: On day 11 post-nucleofection, the nucleofected cells were stained with human anti-CD147 Alexa Flour 488-conjugated antibody (R&D systems, FAB3195G).
