Large-scale manufacturing of base-edited chimeric antigen receptor T cells

This study develops a protocol for manufacturing base-edited CAR-T cells using circular RNA (circRNA) to reduce costs and improve stability compared to linear mRNA. Large-scale production of PD-1 deficient CAR-T cells was achieved using 100M and six-well G-Rex vessels, demonstrating scalability.

Lentiviral vectors for inducible, transactivator-free advanced therapy medicinal products: Application to CAR-T cells

This study develops Dox-inducible lentiviral vectors for CAR-T cells. G-Rex plates were used for the production of monoclonal antibodies from hybridomas and for expanding transduced primary T cells in the absence of Dox prior to in vivo experiments.

The prospect of universal coronavirus immunity: characterization of reciprocal and non-reciprocal T cell responses against SARS-CoV2 and common human coronaviruses

The study investigates T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 and endemic coronaviruses. It describes a protocol to generate universal multi-coronavirus specific T cells (MCVSTs) by expanding PBMCs in G-Rex gas-permeable containers, yielding robust cell numbers for potential adoptive immunotherapy.

Refining chimeric antigen receptors via barcoded protein domain combination pooled screening

This paper describes a pooled screening strategy for CAR domain combinations using DNA barcoding. G-Rex plates were utilized for co-culturing transduced T cells with tumor cells during repeated antigen stimulation assays to identify CAR constructs with superior expansion and proliferation.

Improving the cytotoxic response of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes towards advanced stage ovarian cancer with an oncolytic adenovirus expressing a human vIL-2 cytokine

The study evaluates an oncolytic adenovirus expressing vIL-2 to boost TIL therapy for ovarian cancer. Autologous TILs were expanded from patient tumor fragments using six-well G-Rex plates as part of the 'young' TILs expansion protocol.

Boosting cytotoxicity of adoptive allogeneic NK cell therapy with an oncolytic adenovirus encoding a human vIL-2 cytokine for the treatment of human ovarian cancer

This study demonstrates that an oncolytic adenovirus encoding vIL-2 enhances NK cell cytotoxicity against ovarian cancer. Patient PBMCs used for humanized mouse models were expanded and rested using 6-well G-Rex plates with TILs media.

Neoantigen-targeted CD8+ T cell responses with PD-1 blockade therapy

The study analyses neoantigen-specific T cells in melanoma patients. Isolated neoTCRs were engineered into donor T cells, which were expanded in 24-well G-Rex plates. The expanded cells were used to validate TCR specificity and cytotoxicity against autologous tumor cell lines.

Potently neutralizing human mAbs against the zoonotic pararubulavirus Sosuga virus

The study isolates neutralizing human mAbs against Sosuga virus from a survivor. Hybridoma cell lines secreting these mAbs were expanded in 6-well G-Rex plates to produce sufficient antibodies for purification and subsequent functional characterization.

Assessment of anti-CD20 antibody pre-treatment for augmentation of CAR-T cell therapy in SIV-infected rhesus macaques

This study evaluates anti-CD20 pre-treatment for enhancing SIV-specific CAR-T cell therapy in macaques. CAR-T cells were manufactured using G-Rex 6-well plates for expansion. While anti-CD20 treatment increased initial CAR-T expansion, the cells failed to persist long-term, and viral loads were not significantly affected.
