OV-loading of CAR-T cells shows minimal changes in T cell viability, CAR expression, or functionality over time. Human HER2-CAR-T cells or CAR-’ve controls were loaded with an MOI of 3 of either VSVΔM51-GFP or vvDD-GFP and monitored for 7 days post-loading for (a) viability, (b) virus replication, (c) CAR expression on CD8+ T cells, (d) CAR expression on CD4+ T cells, or cytokine production (IFNγ and/or TNFα positive cells) by (e) CD4+ or (f) CD8+ T cells via flow cytometry on the days indicated. Data are presented as mean ± SEM from two independent T-cell donors. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, n.s. = not significant. CAR, chimeric antigen receptor; MOI, multiplicity of infection; OV, oncolytic virus; VSV, vesicular stomatitis virus; vvDD, “double-deleted” vaccina virus.
