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.

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.

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.

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.

NK cells expressing a chimeric activating receptor eliminate MDSCs and rescue impaired CAR-T cell activity against solid tumors

NKG2D.zeta-NK cells were generated and expanded in G-Rex devices. These cells eliminated myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the tumor microenvironment, enhancing the infiltration and efficacy of GD2.CAR-T cells in neuroblastoma models.

Mycobacteria-Specific T Cells May Be Expanded From Healthy Donors and Are Near Absent in Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders

Mycobacteria-specific T cells (MSTs) were expanded from healthy donors using peptide pools and G-Rex 10. The protocol yielded polyfunctional CD4+ T cells. MSTs were largely absent in patients with primary immunodeficiencies.
