Esse protocolo agiliza a produção de vetores retrovirais e a transdução de células T murinas, facilitando a geração eficiente de células CAR-T em camundongos.

Nossa pesquisa explora combinações eficazes de bactérias projetadas e células T CAR para o tratamento de tumores sólidos. É importante para nós estudar como essas duas terapias celulares funcionam dentro do contexto de um sistema imunológico completo usando modelos singênicos de câncer de ovário. O estudo da função das células T CAR em modelos tumorais singênicos tem sido limitado pela falta de protocolos padronizados para a geração de células T CAR murinas.

As células T murinas são particularmente difíceis de transduzir em cultura ex vivo usando métodos tradicionais. Desenvolvemos este protocolo para agilizar a produção de células T CAR murinas para possibilitar o estudo em modelos singênicos que fornecem contexto importante para avaliar a atividade de novas tecnologias CAR.
