Second-generation CD33-CAR incorporating the My96 scFv sequence was constructed as described earlier [22 (link)]. Briefly, the My96 scFv was combined in frame with CD8 hinge and transmembrane domain, 4-1BB/CD137 co-stimulatory domain, and CD3ζ activation domain. A leader peptide derived from GM-CSFRα was included to facilitate CAR cell surface expression. Third-generation self-inactivating baboon envelope-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors (BaEV-LVs) were produced by transient transfection into HEK293T cells using MACSfectin (Miltenyi Biotec) or polyethylenimine (PEI) [23 (link)].
