The chimeric antigen receptor-genetically engineered vectors CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3, GD2-B7H3 duoCART and CD19-CD22-CD20 triCART and viral packaging plasmids were transfected at a molar ratio of 1:1:1, with a total mass of 6 ug/10 cm Dish; and 293T cells were transfected with lentiviruses for 72 h and 96 h, cultural supernatant was then collected, and the viruses were concentrated.

[0297] 2. By the real-time quantitative PCR method, 1×10.sup.6 293 T cells were transfected at the concentration gradient of 1u1:2u1:4u1:8u1:16u1:32u1 of the lentiviruses for determination of virus titration, and finally, viruses with the chimeric antigen receptor-genetically engineered vectors CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3, GD2-B7H3 duoCART, and CD19-CD22-CD20 triCART were obtained, respectively. The MOI values of the viruses were: 1) CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3: 2-3; 2) GD2-B7H3 duoCART: 2-3; and 3) CD19-CD22-CD20 triCART: 5-10, respectively.

Example 3 Virus Transfection of Immune Cells

[0298] 1. Human peripheral blood T lymphocytes were collected, and transfected with the above viruses. Then, the transfection efficiency was measured by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled antibodies. The fluorescently labeled antibody used for CD19-CART was APC, the fluorescently labeled antibody used for CD22-CART was FITC, and the fluorescently labeled antibody used for CD20-CART was PE.

[0299] 2. The virus prepared by the chimeric antigen receptor-genetically engineered vector was generally transfected at a transfection efficiency of more than 20%, mostly between 40% and 70%, after in vitro transfection, as shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, human T lymphocytes were transfected with single-target and dual-target lentiviral vector-packaged viruses. In FIG. 8, A shows the transfection efficiency of single-target CD19-CART; B shows the transfection efficiency of single-target CD22-CART; C shows the transfection efficiency of CD19-CART in the two-target CD19/CD22-CART; D shows the transfection efficiency of CD22-CART in the dual-target CD19/CD22-CART; E shows the transfection efficiency of CD19-CART in the triple-target CD19/CD22/CD20-CART vector; F shows the transfection efficiency of CD22-CART in the triple-target CD19/CD22/CD20-CART vector; and G shows the transfection efficiency of CD20-CART in the triple-target CD19/CD22/CD20-CART vector. As can be seen from the figures, the dual-target and triple-target derived viruses show no significant difference in transfection efficiency as compared to the single-target virus.

[0300] 3. After transfection, the resulting CART cells were Single-CD19-CART, Single-CD22-CART, dual-CD19-CD22-CART (corresponding to CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3) and tri-CD19-CD22-CD20-CART, respectively.

Example 4 Detection of Killing Effect of CART Cells on Target Cells

[0301] 1. At the ratio of 1:5 of Single-CD19-CART to CD19, CD22 and/or CD20-positive leukemia cell lines, the ratio of 1:5 of Single-CD22-CART to CD19, CD22 and/or CD20-positive leukemia cell lines, and the ratio of 1:5 of dual-CD19-CD22-CART cells to CD19, CD22 and/or CD20-positive leukemia cell lines, the three CART cells were mixed with CD19, CD22 and/or CD20-positive leukemia cell lines respectively and co-incubated as test groups; and at the same time, virus-transfected T lymphocytes obtained by preparing vector packages with irrelevant sequences were taken as a control group.

[0302] 2. After 0 h, 24 h and 48 h of incubation, in vitro killing assays were carried out by flow cytometry; the killing effects of Single-CD19-CART, Single-CD22-CART, and dual-CD19-CD22-CART cells on leukemia cells-REH were compared at different incubation times; and these cells were compared with the virus-transfected T lymphocytes obtained by preparing vector packages with irrelevant sequences. The results of the killing effects of the three groups of cells on leukemia cells-REH are shown in FIG. 10. The first row shows the maps of Single-CD19-CART, Single-CD22-CART, and dual-CD19-CD22-CART cells co-incubated with leukemia cells-REH for 0 hour. It can be seen that the proportion of leukemia cells in the co-incubation system was 74.8% (control group), 72.9% (Single-CD19-CART group), 80.0% (Single-CD22-CART group), and 78.9% (dual-CD19-CD22-CART group), respectively. The second row shows the maps of Single-CD19-CART, Single-CD22-CART, and dual-CD19-CD22-CART cells co-incubated with leukemia cells-REH for 24 hours. It can be seen that the proportion of leukemia cells in the co-incubation system was 64.9% (control group), 2.14% (Single-CD19-CART group), 16.2% (Single-CD22-CART group), and 10.1% (dual-CD19-CD22-CART group), respectively. It can be seen that, compared with the control group, the dual-CD19-CD22-CART cells show a greatly enhanced killing effect on target cells after 24 h of co-incubation.

Example 5 Acquisition and Proliferation of CART Cells

[0303] 1. Human peripheral blood was collected at 0.5-2 ml/kg, and subjected to magnetic bead sorting to obtain CD3ζ-positive T lymphocytes or CD56-positive NK cells.

[0304] 2. CD3ζ/CD28 immunomagnetic beads were added for stimulatory activation and viral transfection, and CD3ζ/CD28 immunomagnetic beads, interleukin-7 and interleukin-15 were continuously given for in vitro proliferation. The cells could be proliferated more than 100 times in 7-8 days.

[0305] 3. By adjustment based on an in vivo load, the quantities of the dual-CD19-CD22-CART, tri-CD19-CD22-CD20-CART and dual-GD2-B7H3-CART cells reached 2×10.sup.5/kg-2× 10.sup.7/kg, and these cells were washed and transfused back to a human body.

Example 6 Dual-CD19-CD22-CART for Treatment of Patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Relapsed after Bone Marrow Transplantation

[0306] The detection results of minimal residual disease of a patient, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapsed after bone marrow transplantation, before and after dual-CD19-CD22-CART infusion are shown in FIG. 11, in which A shows the detection results of minimal residual disease before the treatment with dual-CD19-CD22-CART (the patient shows high expression of CD66c and CD123 and low expression of CD81 in leukemia cells), with the arrow pointing to the leukemia cells; and B, C and D shows the detection results of minimal residual disease after the treatment with dual-CD19-CD22-CART. It can be seen that the leukemia cells disappear for 9 months and are still in a complete remission status.

[0309] The condition of a Burkitt lymphoma patient treated with tri-CD19-CD22-CD20-CART is shown in FIG. 14. In FIG. 14, A shows the tumor changes before and after treatment. It can be seen that a tumor with the size of 6.6 cm between the bladder (marked as a in the figure) and the rectum (marked as b in the figure) of the patient before treatment completely disappears after treatment; B shows the tumor changes observed continuously for one year, in which the tumor basically disappears after more than 1 month without relapse; and C shows the changes of C-reactive protein, cytokines (mainly interleukin-6) and lactate dehydrogenase or the like in the patient during the treatment.

Example 10 Dual-CD19-CD22-CART for Treatment of Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Relapsed in Testicles

[0310] The conditions of two patients, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapsed in testicles, after receiving dual-CD19-CD22-CART treatment are shown in FIG. 15, in which the upper and lower columns show the conditions of the two patients, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapsed in testicles, treated with the dual-CD19-CD22-CART, respectively. It can be seen that, after the injection on Day 0, the leukemia-infiltrated testicles of the patients gradually shrink to a normal size. After pathological biopsy, no leukemia cells were seen after the treatment with dual-CD19-CD22-CART.

Example 11 Dual-GD2-B7H3-CART for Treatment of Neuroblastoma Patient

[0311] The conditions of a neuroblastoma patient after receiving dual-GD2-B7H3-CART treatment are shown in FIG. 16, in which A shows the results of bone marrow smear under a low-power microscope before and after treatment, and it can be seen that tumor cells in the bone marrow are significantly reduced after 18 days of treatment; B shows the results of bone marrow smear under a high-power microscope before and after treatment, and it can be seen that tumor cells in the bone marrow are significantly reduced after 18 days of treatment; and C and D show the flow cytometry results before and after treatment, where tumor cells in the bone marrow decrease from 60% before treatment to 1.2%.

Example 12 Disease Remission Rate, Event-free Survival and Overall Survival of Clinically Treated Patients

[0312] 1. From March, 2017 to August, 2019, 47 child patients with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) successively received CD19 single-target CART treatment, with an average observation time of 23.8 months and a maximum observation time of 55.5 months. After receiving the Single-CD19-CART treatment, the negative conversion rate of minimal residual disease was 97.9% (47/48); the primary disease relapsed in 29 patients, and the second tumor occurred to 1 patient (MLL-AF4-positive mixed lineage leukemia relapse before Single-CD19-CART treatment); and the relapse rate of the disease was 38.2% (21/55). Among the 29 patients with relapsed primary disease, 19 patients had CD19-positive relapse and 10 patients had CD19-negative relapse, with overall 2-year event-free survival of 34.0% and overall 3-year survival of 59.6%, as shown in FIG. 17A.

[0313] 2. From September, 2019 to October, 2020, 81 child patients with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia received treatment with CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3, with an average observation time of 16.4 months and a maximum observation time of 25.9 months. One patient died from CRES without primary disease evaluation. Among other patients receiving the CART treatment, the negative conversion rate of minimal residual disease was 98.8% (80/81); and the primary disease relapsed in 22 patients, including 1 patient with unknown leukemia phenotype after relapse, 1 patient with CD19−/CD22− relapse, 4 patients with CD19−/CD22+ relapse, and 14 patients with CD19+/CD22+ relapse. The disease relapse rate was 27.2%, mainly including CD19+ relapse. The overall 1-year event-free survival was 71.4%, and the overall 1-year survival was 86.3%, as shown in FIG. 17B. The analysis shows that the therapeutic efficacy of CD19-CD22 dual-target CART is much higher than that of single CD19 target, with a P value being statistically significant.

[0314] 3. From November, 2020 to November, 2021, 132 child patients with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia received the CART treatment with CD19-CD22 duoCART (III-5) and CD22-CD19 duoCART (III-6), with an average observation time of 5.3 months and a maximum observation time of 11.6 months. No patients had CRS or CRES death, the negative conversion rate of minimal residual disease was 100.0% (132/132), and the primary disease relapsed in 8 patients, including 5 patients with CD19−/CD22+ relapse and 3 patients with CD19+/CD22+ relapse. The relapse rate of the disease was 6.1%, and the relapse rate of CD19+ was greatly reduced. The 6-month event-free survival was 89.7% and the overall 6-month survival was 96.7%, as shown in FIG. 17C. The analysis shows that the therapeutic efficacy of CD19-CD22 duoCART (III-5) and CD22-CD19 duoCART (III-6) is further superior to that of CD19-CD22 duoCART New19CRE22-CAR v3, with a P value being statistically significant.

[0315] In terms of the analysis of CD19 single-target construction and CD19 and CD22 dual-target construction, CD19-CD22 duoCART (III-5) and CD22-CD19 duoCART (III-6) (both mainly differing in the sequential order of ScFvs of CD19 and CD22, without significant difference in vitro and in vivo) show the best therapeutic efficacy, as shown in FIG. 17D.
