(2) Virus titer assay
To detect the expression Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) virus titer, T cells were infected with four lentiviruses to the same titer. The virus titer is measured by a limiting dilution method, and the infection of the 293T cells by the lentivirus is detected initially. First, 293T cells in good growth state were digested and counted, diluted to 1X 10 5/mL, and added to a 96-well plate of 100. Mu.L/well, 10 gradients were prepared for each virus. Culturing in a 5% CO 2 incubator at 37deg.C. Next, 10 1.5mL EP tubes were prepared for each virus, and 10 dilutions (10 0~109) were made in the EP tubes in a 10-fold gradient, i.e., 90. Mu.L of DMEM complete medium per tube with 10uL of virus concentrate. Then, 10 dilutions of the virus were added to 96-well plates, and after further culturing, 293T cells infected for 72 hours were collected, photographed and recorded after virus infection, and the positive rate was analyzed by flow cytometry.

By taking a photograph of the fluorescent cells, a dilution group having ten or less fluorescent cells is selected, and the virus titer is calculated based on the specific values of the fluorescent cells and the corresponding dilution factors. The same titer was then used to infect T cells to ensure that 4 lentiviruses transduced T cells at an approximate level.
As shown in FIG. 2, compared with the existence of 293T cells in the control group, the transfection efficiencies of NO.3-EGFP, NO.2-EGFP, NO.1-EGFP and NO.4-EGFP in the 293T cells are 99.3%, 97.3%, 93.6% and 91.6% respectively, and the transfection efficiencies of different expression vectors are from high to low, namely NO.3-EGFP > NO.2-EGFP > NO.1-EGFP > NO.4-EGFP, which shows that the sequences of SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 can improve the transfection efficiency of Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) in the 293T cells compared with SEQ ID NO. 4.
2.2 Transfection of T cells
1 Well of 24-well plate was coated with 500uLPBS and 20uL R factor (1:50), four degrees overnight; taking activated 48h T cells and counting; the volumes of T cells and virus added were calculated according to 1:1000 polyagglutination amine. Diluting the viruses until the titer is the same, discarding PBS and R factor coating liquid, taking an equal volume of the virus dilution liquid, slowly adding the virus dilution liquid into a pre-coating hole, centrifuging at 4000rpm for 1h at 4 ℃, centrifuging at 4000rpm for 1h at 32 ℃, and centrifuging a proper amount of cell suspension to the bottom of the plate.

And (3) feel: in view of the difficulty in infecting T cells, multiple passes are required, i.e., the same titer, same volume of virus is added to the pre-coated wells and the same transfection procedure is performed. The cell suspension obtained by transfection was collected, slowly added to a 24-well plate containing virus, and centrifuged at 4000rpm at 32℃for 1 hour. After 48h T cells were re-activated, the infection ratio was recorded by flow cytometry on day 2, day 4, and day 6, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 3, the results of the measurement are (a), (b) and (c) the expression efficiencies of EGFP measured on days 2, 4 and 6, respectively. Compared with No.2-EGFP, no.3-EGFP and No.4-EGFP, the expression vectors No.1-EGFP have the highest expression efficiency, and stable expression is always carried out under the condition that the expression efficiency is not obviously reduced, which indicates that the SEQ ID No.1 sequence can improve the expression efficiency of Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) in T cells; from (d), it is clear that the data columns from left to right in the expression ratio graphs measured on the 2 nd, 4 th and 6 th days are respectively groups containing SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4, and the promotion effect of the Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) in T cells is better and has obvious difference compared with that of SEQ ID NO.2, SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4 and the promotion effect of the SEQ ID NO.1 sequence. Therefore, the expression vector of NO.1 constructed by the SEQ ID NO.1 sequence has the highest expression efficiency in T cells.
2.3 Substitution with CAR Gene, transfected T cells
To verify whether the 4-segment sequence has an enhanced expression effect on the CAR gene, the Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) in the vectors No.1-EGFP, no.2-EGFP, no.3-EGFP, no.4-EGFP was replaced with a CAR gene comprising SSI VH, SSI VL, and an amino acid sequence G4S Linker encoding a short peptide linking SSI VH and SSI VL, CD8 hinge region, CD8 transmembrane domain, 4-1BB target, CD3 Zeta target, resulting in expression vectors No.1-CAR, no.2-CAR, no.3-CAR, no.4-CAR, and the same experiment of transfected T cells was performed.
The expression of the CAR gene was reflected by detecting the expression efficiency of G4S Linker, and the detection results are shown in FIG. 4. And (a), (b) and (c) are respectively the expression efficiencies of the G4S Linker measured on the 2 nd day, the 4 th day and the 6 th day, compared with the expression efficiencies of the NO.3-CAR and the NO.4-CAR, the expression vectors NO.1-CAR and the NO.2-CAR respectively maintain higher expression efficiencies of the G4S Linker, wherein the expression vectors NO.1-CAR have the highest expression efficiency in promoting the G4SLinker in T cells, and the expression efficiencies are not obviously reduced, and are always and stably expressed, so that the SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 sequences can improve the expression efficiencies of the G4S Linker in the T cells, and further the SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 sequences can improve the expression efficiencies of the CAR genes in the T cells.
As shown in (d), the expression promoting effect of the sequences SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4 and SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2 is better and has obvious difference in improving the expression efficiency of the G4S Linker in T cells. The NO.1-CAR expression vector constructed by the SEQ ID NO.1 sequence has highest expression efficiency in promoting G4SLinker in T cells.
