De-identified, HLA typed and purified human CD4 and CD8 T cells were obtained from the University of Pennsylvania’s CFAR and Human Immunology Core (HIC RRID: SCR_022380). Both subsets of T cells were cultured in CTS OpTmizer T-cell expansion SFM(Gibco) with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 2mM GlutaMax and 25mM HEPES buffer, and 100U/ml IL-2 at 1x106 cells per ml. Cell culture flasks were incubated at 37° C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity. T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Life Technology) at 3:1 ratio. 18 hours after stimulation, appropriate amount of CAR or TCR lentiviruses were added into the culture of CD8 T cells. 48 hours after stimulation, the culture volume was quadrupled with culture medium. At 4 days after activation, the anti-CD3/CD28 beads were removed using a magnet. Throughout the culture after bead removal, medium was supplied every 2 days to maintain a cell concentration of 0.5x106 cells per ml.

Expanding CAR-T Cells from PBMCs

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy adult donors were purchased from the Abramson Cancer Center’s Human Immunology Core. CD3+ T cells were isolated from PBMCs using the EasySep Human T Cell Isolation Kit (STEMCELL Technologies), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were placed in Opt5 media [5% heat-inactivated GemCell Human Serum AB (Gemini Bio) and 2 mM GlutaMAX (Gibco) in CTS OpTmizer T Cell Expansion SFM (Gibco)] at a concentration of 1 × 106 cells/ml and activated with Dynabeads Mouse T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Gibco) at a ratio of 3:1 beads to cells and human recombinant IL-2 (100 IU/ml; PeproTech Inc.). One day after activation, cells were infected with CAR19 containing lentivirus at an MOI of 2. On days 5, 7, 9, and 12, cells were counted using a Countess automated cell counter; then, Opt5 with IL-2 was added to bring the cell concentration down to 5 × 105 cells/ml. Cells were harvested on day 14.

Polyclonal T cells from freshly isolated PBMC (from healthy blood donors) were isolated using Dynabeads Untouched T cells Kit (Life Technologies) and activated ex vivo using OKT3 (30 ng ml−1, eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), pooled irradiated feeder cells (1:100) and high dose IL-2 according to the rapid expansion protocol described by Rosenberg lab (Dudley et al.). Cells were seeded 1 × 105 T cell ml−1, 5 × 107 irradiated feeder cells ml−1 in cell culture media with 3000 U ml−1 IL-2 (Life Technologies) in tissue culture wells and grown for 2 weeks. Cell cultures were fed with fresh media every 1–3 days as needed. Media used were XVIVO-15 (Lonza), CTS OpTmizer T cell Expansion SFM, or AIM-V CTS (Life Technologies). Pooled human AB serum (2 or 5% as indicated) or 10% CTS Immune Cell SR were added to the media for comparison. All cell culture media were supplemented to a final concentration of 6 mm glutamine (Life Technologies). At the end of culture, cells were counted and phenotype was analysed using flow cytometer (CD4, CD8 and CD62L).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from de-identified healthy donors at Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center (Houston, TX) were isolated from leukapheresis products by Ficoll-Paque (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA) gradient centrifugation. T cells were then negatively selected by the EasySep™ Human T Cell Isolation Kit (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). These cells were activated by anti-CD3/CD28-coated beads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) at a cell-to-bead ratio of 1:3 with 200 U/ml of IL-2 (PeproTech, London, UK) in CTS™ OpTmizer™ T Cell Expansion SFM (Life Technologies). After 24–48 h of activation, cells were transduced by the addition of high-titer lentiviral particles expressing CD38-CAR, CD19-CAR, or green fluorescent protein (GFP). Transduced T cells were maintained at a concentration of 0.7 × 106 cells/ml for 7–10 days by cell enumeration every 2–3 days. Finally, the T cells were induced to proliferate using a previously described rapid expansion protocol (REP) [18 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
