Abstract

T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are emerging as powerful cancer immunotherapies. Remarkable efficacies have been demonstrated in treating B-cell malignancies with CAR-T cells, leading to the FDA's first approval of gene therapy. Currently, numerous clinical trials for hematological malignancies and solid tumors are underway worldwide. Production of CAR-T cells with proper qualities is essential for CAR-T success in vivo. Here we detail optimized protocols for the generation of CAR-T cells for preclinical studies using lentiviral gene transfer, expansion of CAR-T cells in culture, detection of CAR expression, and evaluation of CAR-T cellular cytotoxicity in vitro.

Keywords: Adoptive cell therapy; Cancer immunotherapy; Chimeric antigen receptor; Lentiviral gene transfer; T cells.
