A Schematic of the transposon construct: an EF1α promoter drives expression (arrow) of the SLAMF7 CAR (modeled after the medicinal antibody elotuzumab) and, by means of a T2A element, the human truncated EGFR (huEGFRt). GMCSFRss: GM-CSF receptor-α chain signal sequences. B Flowchart of CARAMBA IMP manufacturing. Manufacturing steps are (1) apheresis, (2) immunomagnetic selection and CD3/CD28 activation, (3) nucleofection with SB100X transposase mRNA and SLAMF7 CAR-tEGFR transposon, (4) CD3/CD28-bead removal and transfer to G-Rex culture flasks, (5) half-medium change, and (6) harvest and formulation.
