SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells generated for adoptive immunotherapy are capable of recognizing multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants
SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were generated from convalescent donors for adoptive immunotherapy. These cells recognized multiple viral variants and provided broad HLA coverage. G-Rex® culture vessels were used to culture and expand the peptide-stimulated PBMCs.

CAR/CXCR5-T cell immunotherapy is safe and potentially efficacious in promoting sustained remission of SIV infection
This study evaluates CAR/CXCR5-T cells for treating SIV infection in rhesus macaques. The cells homed to lymphoid follicles and reduced viral loads. Transduced T cells were expanded in G-Rex® 500M-CS containers and 6-well plates during manufacturing.

Internal checkpoint regulates T cell neoantigen reactivity and susceptibility to PD1 blockade
This study identifies CISH as a negative regulator of T cell effector function. CRISPR/Cas9 deletion of CISH improved TIL neoantigen recognition and efficacy. Clinical-scale manufacturing of CISH KO TILs utilized G-Rex® 100 for the rapid expansion protocol (REP).

High-efficiency nonviral CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of human T cells using plasmid donor DNA
A nonviral CRISPR/Cas9 method using plasmid donor DNA was developed for efficient gene knock-in in primary human T cells. The method was used for TCR and CAR integration. G-Rex® 24-well plates were used to culture and expand the edited T cells.

CB derived, optimized affinity CD38 CAR-NK cells with CD38 KO show promising in-vivo activity in a Multiple Myeloma model
This poster describes the development of cord blood-derived CD38 CAR-NK cells with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated CD38 knockout. These cells demonstrated potent activity against multiple myeloma. G-Rex® 6M plates were utilized to achieve significant cell expansion (approx. 400-fold).

A Phase I Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose of ex Vivo Expanded Natural Killer Cells Derived from Unrelated, HLA-Disparate Adult Donors
This Phase I trial evaluated the safety of ex vivo expanded, off-the-shelf NK cells from unrelated donors in patients with malignancies. The NK cells were expanded using a feeder cell platform in G-Rex®. The treatment was safe with no GVHD and showed signs of efficacy.

Safety and durability of AGT103-T autologous T cell therapy for HIV infection in a Phase 1 trial
A Phase 1 trial evaluated AGT103-T, a genetically modified Gag-specific CD4+ T cell product for HIV. The therapy was safe and increased Gag-specific T cell responses. G-Rex® 500M-CS containers were used for the static culture expansion of the cell product during manufacturing.

Robust In Vitro Pharmacology of Tmod, a Synthetic Dual-Signal Integrator for Cancer Cell Therapy
This study characterizes the pharmacology of the Tmod system, which uses an activator (CAR/TCR) and a blocker (LIR-1 based) to discriminate tumor from normal cells. Primary T cells transduced with Tmod constructs were cultured and recovered in G-Rex® 24-well plates.

Cas-CLOVER is a novel high-fidelity nuclease for safe and robust generation of TSCM-enriched allogeneic CAR-T cells
Cas-CLOVER is characterized as a high-fidelity nuclease for generating allogeneic CAR-T cells with high stem cell memory content (TSCM). It shows low off-target activity. The manufacturing process for P-BCMA-ALLO1 utilized G-Rex® 100M vessels for cell culture and expansion.

Tissue-resident Memory and Circulating T cells are Early Responders to Pre-surgical Cancer Immunotherapy
This study analyzes immune kinetics in oral cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant ICB, finding that tissue-resident memory T cells are key early responders. G-Rex® 10 were used to expand T cells for T-Scan antigen discovery screens to identify tumor-associated targets.

Fully murine CD105-targeted CAR-T cells provide an immunocompetent model for CAR-T cell biology
This study develops a fully murine CD105 CAR-T cell system to study CAR-T biology in immunocompetent mice. It also validates a human CD105 CAR against melanoma and AML. Human CAR-T cells were expanded in G-Rex® 6M well plates following sorting.

Cytomegalovirus-Specific T Cells from Third-Party Donors Successfully Treated Refractory Cytomegalovirus Retinitis after Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation
This case study reports the successful treatment of refractory CMV retinitis using third-party donor CMV-specific T cells (CMVST) following cord blood transplantation. G-Rex® culture were used to culture and expand high purity CD3+ T cells from the donor for the therapy.
