Abstract:

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has achieved exciting clinical efficacy in hematological malignancies, but CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors still requires further development. Patient-derived tumor organoids are in vitro disease models that retain patient heterogeneity and have been used to test the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy and targeted drugs. This method describes an in vitro efficacy testing model of co-culturing tumor organoids with CAR-T cells. Colorectal cancer samples from patients are constructed into tumor organoids with a three-dimensional (3D) structure in a basement membrane matrix. The tumor organoids can grow stably and be passaged continuously. Mature tumor organoids are separated from the matrix by washing and centrifugation, and CAR-T cells are added at different effector-to-target (E:T) ratios to form an immune-organoid co-culture system. After 6-24 h, the morphology and intercellular structures of the organoids are observed by bright-field imaging. This experiment further performs dead cell staining in the co-culture system, which can reflect the viability of the organoids and evaluate the cytotoxic effect of CAR-T cells on tumor organoids. This experiment can effectively observe the interaction between CAR-T cells and 3D tumor organoids, and the results can be used to assess the tumor-killing activity of CAR-T cells.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

Antigen Presenting Cells

Antigen Presenting Cells

The immune system is a complex network of cells and molecules that protects the body from foreign invaders. T cells, a type of white blood cell, play a crucial role in this process. They recognize and attack foreign substances, such as pathogens, that enter the body.
T cells require the help of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which process foreign antigens into smaller fragments that can be recognized by T cells. These APCs are highly specialized cells that efficiently internalize antigens...

The Two-State Receptor Model

The Two-State Receptor Model

The two-state receptor model explains a drug's interaction with receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels, to induce or inhibit a biological response. When no natural ligands are present, a receptor exists in an equilibrium of inactive (Ri) and active (Ra) conformations. The inactive form does not produce a response, while the active form generates a basal effect known as constitutive activity.
The binding affinity of a drug determines its interaction with...

Types of Receptors: Cell Surface Receptors

Types of Receptors: Cell Surface Receptors

Cell-surface receptors, also known as transmembrane receptors, are cell surface, membrane-anchored (integral) proteins that bind to external ligand molecules. This type of receptor spans the plasma membrane and performs signal transduction, converting an extracellular signal into an intracellular signal. Ligands that interact with cell-surface receptors do not have to enter the cell that they affect. Cell-surface receptors are also called cell-specific proteins or markers because they are...

Internal Receptors

Internal Receptors

Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.
