• •2. Aged 18-70 years, male or female;
• •3. CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with immunohistochemistry(IHC), with the following diagnostic: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or Primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBCL), or Follicular lymphoma transformed large B cell lymphoma (TFL) , or High grade B cell lymphoma(HGBCL);
• •4. Previously received≥2nd-line adequate therapy or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), including: a) Received anthracycline-containing drugs and rituximab or other CD20-targeted drugs (except CD20-negative tumors); b) Definition of line: Stable disease (SD) after receiving a first-line therapy for at least 4 cycles or progressive disease (PD), and SD after a second-line therapy for at least 2 cycles or PD; c) For transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL), patients must be treated adequately against FL, and after transformation, must have received at least once the therapy against TFL, and become relapsed or refractory after the last therapy;
• •5. In relapsed or refractory status at screening: a) Definition of relapse: Remission (including partial remission (PR) or complete remission (CR)) after treatment with at least the standard therapy regimen, and then PD; b)Definition of refractory: i. Non-response to the last therapy: The best response by the last therapy is SD or PD, and the duration is less than 6 months; ii. Relapse or progression (it must be proved by biopsy) after ASCT, including: Relapse or PD within 12 months after ASCT; if a salvage therapy is received, the patient is non-response (SD or PD) to the last therapy;

• •11. Qualified T cell function;
• •12. Vascular conditions for apheresis, and no other contraindications for apheresis;
• •13. Elution period of CD20 monoclonal antibody at least 3 months before U16 infusion;
• •14. Life expectancy more than 3 months.
