[Construction of NKG2D CAR-NK92 cells and its killing effect on multiple myeloma cells].

Objective This study aims to construct and identify the chimeric antigen receptor NK92 (CAR-NK92) cells targeting NKG2D ligand (NKG2DL) (secreting IL-15Ra-IL-15) and verify the killing activity of NKG2D CAR-NK92 cells against multiple myeloma cells. Methods The extracellular segment of NKG2D was employed to connect 4-1BB and CD3Z, as well as IL-15Ra-IL-15 sequence to obtain a CAR expression framework. The lentivirus was packaged and transduced into NK92 cells to obtain NKG2D CAR-NK92 cells.

Combination of 4-1BB and DAP10 promotes proliferation and persistence of NKG2D(bbz) CAR-T cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has been shown to have considerable therapeutic effects in hematological malignancies, and NKG2D(z) CAR-T cell therapy has been verified to be safe based on clinical trials. However, due to the poor persistence of NKG2D(z) CAR-T cells, their therapeutic effect is not obvious. Here, we constructed NKG2D(bbz) CAR-T cells that can simultaneously activate 4-1BB and DAP10 costimulatory signaling.

Aptamer-Pendant DNA Tetrahedron Nanostructure Probe for Ultrasensitive Detection of Tetracycline by Coupling Target-Triggered Rolling Circle Amplification.

Tetracycline (TET) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is frequently used in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, feed additives, and so on. However, its residue and accumulation in animal-derived foods could cause several side effects to the human body. Herein, we fabricated TET aptamer-pendant DNA tetrahedral nanostructure-functionalized magnetic beads (Apt-tet MBs) as a probe to detect TET.

Sensitive and on-site detection of glyphosate based on papain-stabilized fluorescent gold nanoclusters.

Organophosphorus pesticides can prevent or eliminate various pathogenic bacteria, insects, and weeds, and thus they are widely applied in agricultural production. However, illegal use and issues with organophosphorus pesticide residues contribute to global environmental pollution and pose a threat to public health safety. In this study, we developed a sensitive glyphosate (Glyp) fluorescence detection method using papain-stabilized gold nanoclusters (papain-AuNCs) as the fluorescence probe and a tyrosinase (TYR)/dopamine (DA) fluorescence-quenching system.
