Expression of chimeric antigen receptors can redirect T cell specificity and allow for MHC-independent recognition of melanoma associated antigens. Retroviral transduction is used to express chimeric antigen receptor constructs in murine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Here we describe the production of retroviral supernatants and the activation, transduction, expansion, and selection of murine T cells expressing the chimeric-PD1 receptor. This protocol can be modified for any murine chimeric antigen receptor construct.
