Supplemental Figure 1: IL13 mutein-CAR T cells show no difference in T-cell phenotype. The phenotype of IL13 mutein-CAR T cells and NT T cells was evaluated using a panel of antibodies. CAR and NT T-cell products consisted of CD4-positive and CD8-positive subpopulations (mean 34.8±3.73%; mean 65.9±2.4%), and contained naïve (CD3+/45RA+) and memory (CD3+/45RO+) T cells. Central (CD3+/CD62L+: 47.1±8.6%) as well aseffector memory T cells (CD3+/CD62L-/CCR7-: 33.0±8.5%) were present. Supplemental Figure 1

IL13K-CAR, IL13Y-CAR or non-transduced (NT) T cells were stimulated with increasing amounts of recombinant IL13Rα1 (A) or IL13Rα2 (B) proteins. After 24h IFNγ was measured by ELISA (n=2, assay performed in duplicate for each donor; mean and SD is shown); ≥250mg of IL13Rα1 and ≥ 125mg of IL13Rα2 protein induced significant IFNγproduction (p<0.05) of IL13K-CAR or IL13Y-CAR T cells in comparison to unstimulated T cells.

All four IL13mutein-CAR constructs (K, KR, Y, YR) killed IL13Ra1+/a2+ cells (U373), IL13Ra1+/a2- cells (A431 or 293T). In contrast IL13Ra1-/a2- cells (Raji or T cells) were not killed. Non-transduced (NT) T cells had no cytolytic activity. E:T ratio Supplemental Figure 3
