Preclinical data and design of a phase I clinical trial of neoantigen-reactive TILs for advanced epithelial or ICB-resistant solid cancers
This study presents the design of a phase I clinical trial for NEXTGEN-TIL, a product selected for neoantigen recognition in solid tumors. It details preclinical expansion from biopsies. G-Rex® vessels were used for clinical-scale GMP validation of the rapid expansion protocol (REP) to obtain sufficient cell doses.

Scalable Manufacturing of T Cells Using cGMP-Compliant Ancillary Reagents
This poster evaluates cGMP T cell expansion protocols using ImmunoCult reagents across G-Rex® (6M plate and 50M bottle), Xuri, and PBS-MINI bioreactors. G-Rex® produced high cell densities and yields of functional T cells, including central memory subsets, suitable for clinical manufacturing.

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.

EMCN NOT Gate (iCAR) Preserves Human HSPCs while Protecting Human HSC/HPCs from Off-Tumor Toxicity in a Humanized Mouse Model
This abstract presents SENTI-202, a logic-gated CAR-NK therapy for AML. The EMCN inhibitory CAR protects healthy HSCs from off-tumor toxicity. R&D scale CAR-NK cell manufacturing utilized 1L G-Rex® for expansion, achieving high cell numbers and viability while maintaining logic gate function.

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.

Protocol for isolation and expansion of natural killer cells from human peripheral blood scalable for clinical applications
This protocol describes the isolation and feeder-cell-based expansion of NK cells. To demonstrate clinical scalability, the method was tested on GMP-grade G-Rex® 100M platforms, achieving clinically relevant numbers of highly pure and functional NK cells suitable for adoptive therapy.

Clinical manufacture of CRISPR/ Cas9-based cytokine-induced SH2 protein knock-out tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes for gastrointestinal cancers
This paper details the GMP manufacturing of CISH KO TILs for GI cancers. Tumor fragments were outgrown in 24-well G-Rex® plates, and selected TILs were expanded in 100 cm² G-Rex® vessels. An automated liquid handling system was developed to perform media exchanges directly in the G-Rex® 24 plates.
