    In relation to this presentation, I declare that there are no conflicts of interest.*

    “CD20CAR-TIME“ is a joint research project partly funded by the German ministry ofeducation and research (ref. 01EK1507A-C) within the research programme“Innovations in Personalised Medicine“.

    * A conflict of interest is any situation in which a speaker or immediate family members have interests, and those may cause a conflictwith the current presentation. Conflicts of interest do not preclude the delivery of the talk, but should be explicitly declared. Thesemay include financial interests (e.g. owning stocks of a related company, having received honoraria, consultancy fees), researchinterests (research support by grants or otherwise), organisational interests and gifts.

    Endodomain: FMC63 → CD19 Endodomain: CD28 + 4-1BB(CD137) +CD3 ζ

    Codon-optimization: removal of cryptic splice sites, polyadenlyationsignals and other inhibitory sequences

    → CD19 binding leads to signal transduction→ Enhanced cytotoxicity

    CAR expressing effector cells conclusionCAR T cells: Successful clinical CAR T cells studies (385 documented world wide)

    Our data about automated manufacturing of CAR expressing T cells givesrise for harmonized protocols in future clinical studies

    Manufacturing failure of autologous CAR T cells needs complementary concepts

    Primary human CAR NK cells: Patients can receive allogeneic haploidentical or „third party NK cells“ without

    severe side effects → good candidates for „off the shelf CAR products“

    CAR NK cells (alpha retroviral SIN vectors) reached a nearly complete elimination of CD19+ and CD123+ leukemic cells after 48 h

    Improvement in future studies: CAR expressing cells and checkpoint inhibitors → combination CAR effector cells with transient cytokine secretion
