Genetically Modifying CAR T Cells Using a CRISPR-Cas9 System

The video outlines a process for creating genetically modified CAR T cells through the CRISPR-Cas9 System. Infecting T cells with CRISPR and CAR lentiviruses results in modifications to the target gene and the synthesis of a chimeric antigen receptor or CAR, ultimately leading to the formation of genetically modified CAR T...

An In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Anti-Tumor Activity of Tumor-Specific CAR T Cells02:42

An In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Anti-Tumor Activity of Tumor-Specific CAR T Cells

This video demonstrates an in vitro assay to validate chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell activity. B-cell lymphoma cells expressing CD19 antigen and cytoplasmic luciferase are co-cultured with CD19-specific CAR T cells. CAR binding to CD19 on a tumor induces the CAR T cells to release cytokines and toxins that cause tumor cell cytotoxicity. The CAR T cell activity is evaluated by quantifying the released cytokine and decreased luciferase-mediated bioluminescence in the tumor...

In Vivo Antitumor Efficacy Analysis of PDT: A Technique to Determine the Phototoxic Potential of a Photosensitizer in Tumor Bearing Mice

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive and non-surgical method for lung cancer treatment. Photosensitizers selectively accumulate in tumor tissue and lead to tumor cell death in the presence of oxygen and the proper wavelength of light. This video describes the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy analysis using photosensitizer containing nanoparticles in a tumor-bearing mouse, to determine the phototoxic potential of the...

An In Vitro Assay to Assess CAR T Cell Cytotoxicity against Tumor Spheroids

This video demonstrates an in vitro assay evaluating the cytotoxic effects of CAR T cells on 3D tumor spheroids expressing fluorescent proteins. This assessment utilizes the Annexin V red fluorescent probe, which binds to exposed phosphatidylserine residues on the outer leaflet of apoptotic cancer cells after interactions with CAR T cells. The red fluorescence emitted by the probe aids in distinguishing these cells from healthy ones emitting green...

Generation of CAR T Cells for Adoptive Therapy in the Context of Glioblastoma Standard of Care

The lymphodepletive and immunomodulatory effects of chemotherapy and radiation standard of care can be leveraged to enhance the antitumor efficacy of T cell immunotherapy. We outline a method for generating EGFRvIII-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and administering them in the context of glioblastoma standard of care.
