[Construction of anti-cD20scFv/CD80/CD28/zeta recombinant gene modified T cell and research on its targeting cytotoxicity].

Objective: To construct anti-CD20scFv/CD80/CD28/zeta recombinant gene modified T cells, test its effectiveness of eradicating CD20+ lymphoma cells and provide a probably new approach to tumor adoptive immunotherapy.

Methods: CD28-zeta cDNA were amplified from vector pBULLET and inserted into pLNCX vector that contained anti-CD20scFv/CD80 gene. The recombinant vectors were transduced into PA317 cells and high titer retroviruses were obtained to infect human peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Resistant T cells were obtained by G418 selection at one week. Then transduced T lymphocytes and lymphoma cell lines Daudi Raji were cocultured. The cytotoxicity and cytokine production of transduced T cells were determined by non-radio-activation cytotoxicity assay and ELISA respectively.

Results: The recombinant eukaryotic vector was constructed successfully as proved by enzyme digestion analysis and sequencing. These T cells were able to lyse CD20+ target cells and secrete high levels of IL-2 and IFN-gamma in vitro.

Conclusion: Recombinant gene modified T cells can be constructed successfully. It can specially kill CD20 positive lymphoma cells in vitro.
