Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate lytic effects of CAR-T on CD19+ cancer cell lines. Methods: Experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional study with control groups. Daudi, 1D2 (CD19+) and K562 (CD19-) cancer cell lines were labelled with CFSE. CAR-T or PBMC cells (effector) were added to the culture wells containing CD19+ or K562 cancer cells (target) with the target:effector ratio (T:E) of 1:2, 1:5, 1:10. The cells were incubated at 37ºC, 5% CO2 for 6 hours, then analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: CAR-T had the ability to lyse CD19+ cancer cells, and the lysis ability increased according to the ratio of CAR-T co-cultured with CD19+ cells. The difference was statistically significant when compared to control groups (PBMC and CD19-) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: CAR-T cells exhibit the ability to lyse CD19+ cancer cell lines.
