Fig. 4.
Functional comparison of CD5/CD7 bispecific CAR-T cells was performed in vitro. a CD5/CD7 bispecific CAR-T cells specifically kill CD5+ and/or CD7+ tumor cells. The data indicate mean ± SD (three replicates). b Expansion of indicated CAR-T and T cells during multi-rounds of tumor cells stimulation. The data represent mean ± SD from three donors. The X-axis represents different coculture time points of CAR-T/T cells with CCRF-CEM cells and the arrows mean mitomycin C-treated CCRF-CEM cells were added at indicated time. c Cytolysis assay of CAR-T/T cells after two rounds of stimulation by mitomycin C-treated CCRF-CEM cells. CAR-T/T cells were remixed with tumor cells at indicated ratios (CAR+% to tumor cells) to evaluate the cytotoxicity by luciferase-based assay. The data represent mean ± SD (n = 3). d CAR-T cells were stained with antibodies against LAG-3, TIGIT, and TIM-3, respectively, before and after two stimulations by mitomycin C-treated CCRF-CEM. The results are displayed as mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, two-way ANOVA
