Description

Adoptive transfer of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CAR-T) is a promising therapy for cancer.  Typically T cells are collected from a patient and transduced with lentivirus to express CARs that specifically recognize antigens on the patient's tumor cells.  CAR-expressing T cells are then infused back into the patient to mount T cell-mediate cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Anti-CD19 CAR-T is engineered to specifically target B-lineage marker CD19 and supplied as pre-packaged lentiviral particles that are ready to transduce T cells for stably expressing CARs against CD19. CD19 is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily (IgSF). CD19 is an important pan B cell marker and co-stimulatory protein involved in growth regulation of B cells.  CD19 is present on most pre-B cells and most non-T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia cells (ALL) and B-cell type chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (CLL).

 

The third-generation (3G) of anti-CD19 CAR-T is composed of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from monoclonal antibody against CD19 and a flexible spacer that allows the scFv to orient in different directions to enable the antigen recognition.  The scFv is fused to a transmembrane (TM) domain and intracellular signaling domains from CD28 and OX40 that combine mutiple co-stimulatory signals to further augment potency to T cell in addition to CD3ζ, which is the primary transmitter of signals from endogenous T cell receptors (TCRs). After CD19 antigen recognition, CARs cluster and transmit a proliferative/survival signal to the T cell.  Studies have indicated that the 3rd generation of CAR designs further improves the anti-tumor activity of engineered T cells against CD19+ malignant cells.

Transduction Protocol

 

Pre-packaged lentiviral particles are most advanced gene delivery tools. Each particles contain a fully sequence verified target gene and are psudotyped with the VSV-G glycoprotein, ready for transduction into into a wide range of cell types including hard-to-transfect primary cells and non-dividing cells. They are supplied in 1-mL aliquot(s) of the serum-/antibiotic-free solution suitable for both in vitro and in vivo delivery. They are produced in HEK293 packaging cells with a typical titer of ≥107 IFU/ml using our optimized LentPAKTM packaging system. The lentiviral particles can be used to transduce subconfluent target cells. Depending on your purpose, you may choose a specific multiplicity of infection (MOI) or test a range of MOIs to determine which gives you the desired results. Transduction can be enhanced by the addition of polybrene, also known as hexadimethrine bromide (typically at 8-10 μg/ml). 

 

Quick Protocol for Transduction

 

Day 1. Seeding Target Cells

For an example, plate target cells in a 10 cm plate at a density of 1 - 5x 105 cells/ml that will produce approximately 60% confluency in 24 hours.

 

Note: other size plates can also be used depending on the nature of your experiment. Adjust the reagent amount according to Table 1

 Volume of Media

 6-well plate

 0.3 – 1 x 106

 2 mL/well

 12-well plate

 0.15 – 0.5 x 106

 1 mL/well

 24-well plate

 0.6 – 2 x 105

 0.5 mL/well

 96-well plate

 1 – 4 x 104

 0.1 mL/well

  

Day 2. Transduction

Remove the growth media from the dish/plate prepared the day before. Replace with 1/2 volume of culture medium containing desired amount of lentiviral particles (at 2 to 20 MOI).  For example, add 4.5 mL of growth medium and 0.5 mL of Lentiviral particles, or simply add 5 mL of Lentiviral particles (for a low titer viral preparation or a high MOI transduction). Add polybrene directly to the media on the target cells at 8 μg/ml. Mix by gentle swirling.

 

Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 4 - 24 hours, then replace the transduction medium with right amount of growth medium according to table 1 (for example 10 mL for 10-cm dish). Culture the cells for 48 – 72 hours, and transduced cells are ready for downstream analyses.

 

Note: Adjust volumes accordingly for transduction of other plate types.  For example, add 1 ml of growth medium and lentiviral particle mixture for 6-well plate, 0.5 ml for 12-well and 0.25 mL for 24-well except for 96 well, in which 100 μl should be used. The change of transduction medium is often unnecessary with our pre-packaged lentiviral particles.  Simply culture cells for 3-4 days before analysis. 

 

The virus-containing media can be changed in as short as 4 hours after transduction if toxicity of the lentiviral transduction is a concern. Normally reverse transcription and genome integration of the lentivector takes place within 24-36 hours. With our ready-to-use, prepackaged lentiviral particles, the change of media is often unnecessary. The transduction process can be ongoing for 2 - 6 days without significant impact on cell growth/viability. The transduction process can also be repeated if desired. For a lentivector with a fluorescent reporter (such as GFP), FACS can be used to enrich for cells that express GFP. If it contains a drug selectable marker, follow the protocol for the particular drug. For example, puromycin selection is usually carried out at 1-10 μg/mL, depending on the target cells’ sensitivity

Troubleshooting

 

Poor Transduction Efficiency:

Poor transduction efficiency could be due to a low viral titer. While lentivectors can accommodate relatively large inserts (up to 8 kb) comparing to other systems, there is still a packaging limit. In general, lentivectors could transfer up to 8-kb gene inserts. However, any gene insert larger than 4kb will dramatically decreases packaging efficiency, which would results in a lower viral titer. To overcome low titers, concentrate viral particles or lower target cell density for transduction. If the transduction efficiency is low despite a high titer of virus, the total volume of transduction media on the target cells may be too high. Transduction can be carried out in a volume of media that just covers the cells; this may increase the exposure of the cells to the virus. Low speed spin (e.g., 1500 rpm for 15-30 min) may help increase the likelihood of virus-cell interactions.  Pseudotyping of the transducing virus to target more abundant receptors on a particular cell type is another potential approach.

 

Transduction Kills Target Cells:

It is possible that MOI may be too high. Perform the transduction with a lower MOI or less viral particles. Packaging cell medium may not be compatible for target cell growth. Either dilute the virus in target cell-compatible medium or concentrate and resuspend the virus in medium compatible with the target cell growth. Change the transduction media containing the virus as early as 4 hrs after transduction.
