ii. Persistent and clinically significant: ≥2 measurements with urine protein with either of the following:

1. > 1mg/mg creatinine
2. > 0.5 mg/mg creatinine associated with renal dysfunction or low albumin.
3. > 0.5 mg/mg creatinine in a patient with rising proteinuria after prior complete renal response b. Non-renal SLE subjects must meet either of the following criteria: i. SLEDAI-2K ≥ 8 and clinical SLEDAI-2K ≥ 6 ii. Inability to decrease prednisone ≤7.5mg/day or 0.15mg/kg/day, whichever is lower, due to active disease.

6. Patients must have had at least 3 months of cumulative conventional therapy defined as:

1. Conventional induction immunosuppressive agent(s) (e.g., mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide), and

4. Pulmonary: Must have a minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as ≤ Grade 1 dyspnea and <Grade 3 hypoxia; DLCO ≥40% (corrected for anemia and/or VA volume if necessary) if PFTs are clinically appropriate as determined by the treating investigator.

11. Participation in a clinical trial in which the patient receives an investigational drug within a time period equal or less than 5.5 half-lives of the investigational agent prior to study enrollment.

12. Subjects who are unwilling or unable to discontinue immunosuppressive medications at the times of CART19 infusion will be excluded from the trial

13. Any comorbidity that in the opinion of the investigators would jeopardize the ability of the subject to tolerate therapy.

14. Pregnant patients. All participants of childbearing potential must have negative pregnancy test.
