Improving lung cancer tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) manufacturing
This study describes the MC3 protocol for lung TIL manufacturing, which simplifies the process by using G-Rex for both preREP and REP phases and replacing feeder cells with CD3/CD28 nanobeads. The method reduced culture time and costs while producing TILs with superior cytotoxicity against tumor organoids.

Engineering tripartite gene editing machinery for highly efficient non-viral targeted genome integration
The authors developed 'enGager', a Cas9 fusion system that tethers cssDNA donors to enhance non-viral targeted integration. Used to engineer CD19/CD22 dual CAR-T cells. Post-electroporation, T cells were transferred to G-Rex 24-well plates for expansion, achieving high knock-in efficiency and cell viability.

Tuning TCR complex recruitment to the T cell antigen coupler (TAC) enhances TAC-T cell function
This study demonstrates that tuning the affinity of the TAC receptor's TCR-binding domain improves in vivo anti-tumor potency. CLDN18.2-TAC T cells were engineered and expanded using the G-Rex system. Lower affinity UCHT1 variants led to superior functional outcomes in solid tumor models.

Optimizing the procedure for manufacturing clinical-grade genetically manipulated natural killer cells for adoptive immunotherapy
This study establishes an optimized platform for expanding and genetically modifying NK cells. Using KBM581 medium with serum replacement in 24-well G-Rex plates, the authors achieved over 5000-fold expansion in 14 days. The protocol supports efficient viral transduction and gene editing of NK cells.

Enhancing CAR T-cell therapy manufacturing efficiency through semi-automated bioprocessing
This study demonstrates a semi-automated workflow for non-viral CAR T-cell production using digitally connected instruments. T cells were isolated, activated, and then cultured in G-Rex 100 and G-Rex 100M. The process yielded high-quality CAR T cells with reduced manual touchpoints and variability.

Anti-CD137 agonist antibody– independent and clinically feasible preparation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from soft tissue sarcoma and osteosarcoma
The authors developed a GMP-feasible protocol for expanding TILs from sarcoma without anti-CD137 agonist, using CD3/CD28 beads instead. The rapid expansion phase (REP) utilized G-Rex 10M, which achieved a 2- to 3-fold higher expansion compared to T-75 flasks, boosting clinical feasibility.
