Dual specific CARs demonstrate ability to eliminate cancer cells in vivo
(A) NSG mice bearing OVCAR-3 derived tumors were treated at 5-day intervals with either 2 × 106 T cells (no CAR), TAG-72.4-1BB CAR-T cells, TAG-72.4-1BB CAR + ΔCD47d CAR, or TAG-72.4-1BB CAR + ΔCD47m CAR by intravenous (i.v.) injection as soon as tumor volume (TV) was approximately 100mm3. (B) Tumor volume was monitored during 28 days. Data were generated from three independent experiments (and therefore three independent T cell donors) and are presented as raw tumor volume. (C) The ability for the aforementioned CAR-T cells to eliminate MESOV cells in vivo was also monitored. NSG mice bearing MESOV-derived tumors were treated as soon as palpable tumors were detected. (D) Tumor volume was monitored regularly during 28 days.
