Transwell migration assay to interrogate human CAR-T cell chemotaxis

Summary: A major impediment to effective cellular therapies in solid tumors is the limited access of therapeutic cells to the tumor site. One strategy to overcome this challenge is to endow T cells with chemotactic properties required to access tumor tissue. Here, we present a chimeric antigen recep...

description Summary: A major impediment to effective cellular therapies in solid tumors is the limited access of therapeutic cells to the tumor site. One strategy to overcome this challenge is to endow T cells with chemotactic properties required to access tumor tissue. Here, we present a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cell strategy centered around enhanced T cell trafficking. We outline isolation, activation, and transduction of human T cells, as well as techniques for assessing migratory and cytotoxic capacity of CAR-T cells.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lesch et al. (2021). : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
