We outline a transfection protocol for producing chimeric antigen receptor-natural killer (CAR-NK) cells targeting fungal pathogens using the non-viral Sleeping Beauty transposon system. To assess antigen-specific activation, we co-cultured the engineered cells with Aspergillus fumigatus germ tubes and measured IFN-γ secretion.
