Potential clinical application of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for ovarian epithelial cancer prior or post-resistance to chemotherapy

Evaluated TIL ACT for ovarian cancer. TILs were expanded using a 'TIL 3.0' method combining IL-2 with agonistic 4-1BB and anti-CD3 antibodies in G-Rex 10. This method significantly increased CD8+ TIL yield and success rates compared to IL-2 alone, producing tumor-reactive T cells in 2-3 weeks.

Electroporation of NKG2D RNA CAR Improves Vg9Vd2 T Cell Responses against Human Solid Tumor Xenografts

Study improving Vg9Vd2 T cell responses using NKG2D RNA CARs. Cells were expanded using K562 aAPCs in G-Rex vessels before electroporation. CAR-modified cells showed enhanced cytotoxicity against solid tumors in vitro and in vivo.

Membrane bound IL-21 based NK cell feeder cells drive robust expansion and metabolic activation of NK cells

Development of 'NKF' feeder cells (OCI-AML3 with mbIL-21) for NK expansion. The system allows large-scale expansion (>10,000 fold) and was validated in G-Rex. Expanded NK cells showed high cytotoxicity and metabolic activation.

Adoptive Transfer of NKG2D CAR mRNA-Engineered Natural Killer Cells in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Clinical trial of mRNA-engineered NKG2D CAR-NK cells in metastatic colorectal cancer. NK cells were expanded from PBMCs using K562 feeder cells in G-Rex 100 vessels. Treatment was safe and showed tumor regression in local injection sites.

Extracellular vesicles derived from natural killer cells use multiple cytotoxic proteins and killing mechanisms to target cancer cells

Study on extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from NK cells. NK cells were propagated and activated using K562-mbIL21 aAPCs in G-Rex culture devices. NK-EVs contained cytotoxic proteins and induced cell death in cancer cells via multiple mechanisms.

Highly efficient multiplex human T cell engineering without double-strand breaks using Cas9 base editors

Demonstrated multiplex base editing (PDCD1, TRAC, B2M) in T cells to create allogeneic CAR-T cells. Edited cells were expanded in G-Rex vessels. The method reduced double-strand breaks and translocations compared to Cas9 nuclease.

Repurposing endogenous immune pathways to tailor and control chimeric antigen receptor T cell functionality

Study on gene editing T cells to place CAR and IL-12P70 under endogenous control (TRAC, IL2Ra, PDCD1). TRACCAR T cells were expanded in G-Rex 10 devices. The engineered cells showed regulated cytokine secretion and improved anti-tumor activity.
