Anti-CD19 CAR-T Cells (eGFP)
Anti-CD19 CAR-T Cells (eGFP) were produced by high-titer lentiviral transduction of human primary CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with SIN Anti-CD19 CAR Lentivirus (CD19 ScFv-CD8-4-1BB-CD3ζ eGFP) (#78775). These ready-to-use CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor)-T cells express an anti-CD19 CAR consisting of the ScFv (Single chain fragment variable) of anti-CD19 (clone FMC63) linked to a 2nd generation CAR containing CD8 hinge and transmembrane domains, and the 4-1BB and CD3ζ signaling domains (Figure 1). The presence of eGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) allows for easy fluorescent detection of CAR-expressing cells.
These CAR-T cells have been validated by flow cytometry (to determine the CAR expression) and co-culture cytotoxicity assays.

CD19 (Cluster of Differentiation 19), also known as 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 disorders 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). In addition, 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.
