Preparation and mechanism of CD19/CD20 dual-targeted CAR-NK cell. ①: Ex-vivo expanded natural killer cells are derived from umbilical cord blood. ②: The mRNA encoding anti-CD19 CARs (FMC63 scFv-CD8α-4-1BB-CD3ζ) and anti-CD20 CARs (LEU16 scFv-CD8α-4-1BB-CD3ζ) were constructed by IVT. ③-④: CD19/CD20 dual-targeted CAR-NK cells were generated by simultaneous electroporation of CAR-mRNA into UCB-NK cells derived from umbilical cord blood, which specifically recognizes CD19+ and/or CD20+ ALL cells. ⑤: Once activated, CAR-NK binds to the target antigen and then lyses tumor cells by releasing perforin and IFN-γ.
