# Experiments

Describe the research, experiments, and protocols you used in your iGEM project. These should be detailed enough for another team to repeat your experiments.

Please remember to put all characterization and measurement data for your parts on the corresponding Registry part pages.

### What should this page contain?

* Protocols
* Experiments
* Documentation of the development of your project

# Results

In order to test the ability of U24 and our device to downregulate CAR receptors,we first need to construct cell line that express CAR.We have constructed vector that express anti-CD19 CAR under the control of EF-1α promoter.

To verify U24's ability to downregulate CARs,we have constructed vector that express anti-CD19 CAR under the control of EF-1α promoter.As a control,we constructed a defective mutant of U24.

For our final device,we constructed vector that both expresses doxycycline responsive transcriptional factor rtTA consititutively under the promoter UbC,and expresses GFP-T2A-U24 in response to doxycycline under the control of tetON promoter.
