Patent ID: 11517590

Abstract:
In order to improve the efficiency of gene introduction in CAR therapy employing a transposon method, provided is a method for preparing genetically-modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor, comprising: (1) a step of preparing non-proliferative cells which are obtained by stimulating a group of cells comprising T cells using an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody followed by a treatment for causing the cells to lose their proliferation capability; (2) a step of obtaining genetically-modified T cells into which a target antigen-specific chimeric antigen receptor gene has been introduced using a transposon method; (3) a step of mixing the non-proliferative cells prepared by step (1) with the genetically-modified T cells obtained by step (2), and co-culturing the mixed cells while stimulating the mixed cells using an anti-CD3 antibody and anti-CD28 antibody; and (4) a step of collecting the cells after culture.
