Generation of Tumor-Specific CD8+ T cells

This poster outlines a semi-automated GMP platform using artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) to generate AML-specific CD8+ T cells. Following magnetic enrichment, the antigen-specific T cells were successfully expanded to clinically relevant numbers using G-Rex® expansion over a 14-day period.

Cell trajectory modulation: rapid microfluidic biophysical profiling of CAR T cell functional phenotypes

The Cell Trajectory Modulation (CTM) assay provides rapid, label-free profiling of CAR T cell biophysical features like size and deformability. The study compares CAR T cells manufactured in G-Rex® gas-permeable plates versus perfusion bioreactors, showing that biophysical signatures correlate with potency and phenotype.

Enhancement of anti-sarcoma immunity by NK cells engineered with mRNA for expression of a EphA2-targeted CAR

This study demonstrates that NK cells engineered with mRNA to express an EphA2-targeted CAR exhibit enhanced cytotoxicity against pediatric sarcomas. The protocol involved expanding human primary NK cells in G-Rex® 24 multi-well cell culture plates using supplemented NK MACS media and activation beads or feeder cells.

Dual modulation of cytotoxic and checkpoint receptors tunes the efficacy of adoptive Delta One T cell therapy against colorectal cancer

This study investigates the efficacy of Delta One T (DOT) cells against colorectal cancer. It identifies NKG2D ligand upregulation and simultaneous TIGIT/PD1 blockade as strategies to enhance cytotoxicity. The expansion protocol for producing clinical-grade DOT cells utilized the G-Rex® platform with OpTmizer-CTS medium.

Autologous Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells (MoDC) Manufactured in the Same Device as Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) for the Production of Tumor-Associated Antigen-Specific T Cells (TAAT) in the Same Device

This study demonstrates a process to manufacture Tumor-Associated Antigen-Specific T Cells (TAAT) by priming naïve T cells with MoDC directly in G-Rex® devices. This closed-system approach eliminates the need for MoDC harvest and restimulation, yielding clinical doses from small blood volumes.

Autologous Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells (MoDC) Manufactured in the Same Device as Antigen Presenting Cells (APC)

This abstract describes a streamlined protocol for manufacturing Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells (MoDC) using G-Rex® devices. The method reduces cell loss associated with harvesting adherent cells and allows for the subsequent production of Tumor-Associated Antigen-Specific T Cells (TAAT) in the same vessel.

MARC, a novel modular chimeric antigen receptor, improves T cell- based cancer immunotherapies by preventing early T cell exhaustion and enhancing persistence

This study presents MARC, a modular CAR design that mimics native receptors to prevent tonic signaling and exhaustion. Primary T cells were transduced and expanded in 24-well G-Rex® plates, demonstrating improved persistence and efficacy in leukemia models compared to traditional CARs.
