Generally, inducible ON systems require a chimeric transcription factor (transactivator) that becomes activated by an inductor, which is not optimal for clinical translation due to their toxicity. We generated previously the first all-in-one, transactivator-free, doxycycline (Dox)-responsive (Lent-On-Plus or LOP) lentiviral vectors (LVs) able to control transgene expression in human stem cells. Here, we have generated new versions of the LOP LVs and have analyzed their applicability for the generation of inducible advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) with special focus on primary human T cells. We have shown that, contrary to all other cell types analyzed, an Is2 insulator must be inserted into the 30 long terminal repeat of the LOP LVs in order to control transgene expression in human primary T cells. Importantly, inducible primary T cells generated by the LOPIs2 LVs are responsive to ultralow doses of Dox and have no changes in phenotype or function compared with untransduced T cells. We validated the LOPIs2 system by generating inducible CAR-T cells that selectively kill CD19+ cells in the presence of Dox. In summary, we describe here the first transactivatorfree, all-one-one system capable of generating Dox-inducible ATMPs.}, organization = {Spanish ISCIII Health Research Fund}, organization = {European Union (EU) PI18/00337 PI21/00298 RD21/0017/0004 PI18/00330 PI17/00672}, organization = {Red TerAv}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia FEDER/European Cohesion Fund (FSE) for Andalusia}, organization = {Spanish Government PI18/00337 PI21/00298}, organization = {European Union-NextGenerationEU - Maria Zambrano Senior Program RD21/0017/0004 PI18/00330 PI17/00672}, organization = {Ministry of Health 2016000073332-TRA PI-57069 CARTPI-0001-201 PE-CART-0031-2020 PI-0014-2016 PECART-0027-2020 ProyExcel_00875 PEER-0286-2019}, organization = {European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) 00123009/SNEO-20191072}, organization = {MINECO - European Regional Development Fund PLEC2021-008094}, organization = {Spanish Government 0006/2018}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucia-Consejeria de Transformacion Economica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades CA21113}, organization = {Spanish Government SAF2015-71589-P}, organization = {MCI RYC-2016-21395}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG) PY20_00619 y A-CTS-28_UGR20}, organization = {Biomedicine Program of the University of Granada (Spain) FPU16/05467 FPU17/02268 FPU17/04327 DIN2018-010180 DIN2020-011550 PEJ-2018-001760-A}, publisher = {CellPress}, title = {Lentiviral vectors for inducible, transactivator-free advanced therapy medicinal products: Application to CAR-T cells}, doi = {10.1016/j.omtn.2023.03.018.}, author = {Tristán Manzano, María and Maldonado Pérez, Noelia and Justicia Lirio, Pedro and Cortijo Gutiérrez, Marina and Tristán Ramos, Pablo and Blanco Benítez, Carlos and Pavlovic, Kristina and Aguilar González, Araceli and Muñoz Fernández, Pilar and Molina Estévez, Francisco Javier and Griesche, Valerie and Marchal Corrales, Juan Antonio and Heras, Sara R. and Benabdellah, Karim and Martín Molina, Francisco}, }
