Anti-CD19 CAR Lentivirus (CD19 ScFv-CD8-4-1BB-CD3ζ, PuroR)
The anti-CD19 CAR lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to transduce most mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. These viruses transduce cells with the ScFv portion of anti-CD19 (clone FMC63) linked to the 2nd generation CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor), containing CD8 hinge and transmembrane domains, 4-1BB and CD3ζ signaling domains. The lentiviruses also include a puromycin selection marker (Figure 1).

Note: This product transduces the same anti-CD19 CAR construct (CD19 ScFv-CD8-4-1BB-CD3ζ) as other available BPS Bioscience anti-CD19 CAR lentiviruses (BPS Bioscience #78600,78601 and 78775) but differs in key aspects. This product contains a puromycin selection marker that can be used for selection. Please see the table below.

CD19 (also known as Cluster of Differentiation 19, B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4, or CVID3) is a glycoprotein expressed at the surface of B lymphocytes through most phases of B cell maturation. It is strictly required for B cell terminal differentiation. Mutations in the CD19 gene cause severe immune-deficiency syndromes associated with impaired antibody production such as CVID3 (common variable immuno-deficiency 3). The majority of B cell malignancies express normal to high levels of CD19, making it a nearly ideal target for cancer immunotherapy. Blinatumomab, a CD19/CD3 bi-specific T cell engager (BiTE) has been approved for relapsed/refractory B precursor ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and CD19 was the target of the first approved CAR-T cell therapy. Studies of CD19 function and expression profiles will continue to broaden our knowledge and support broader applications in cancer therapy.
