Clinical-Scale Rapid Autologous BK Virus-Specific T Cell Line Generation From Kidney Transplant Recipients With Active Viremia for Adoptive Immunotherapy

Describes a clinical-scale protocol to generate autologous BK virus-specific T cell lines from kidney transplant recipients. G-Rex10 vessels were used for all T cell cultures, allowing for rapid expansion and generation of antigen-specific T cell lines suitable for adoptive immunotherapy.

Large-scale isolation and cytotoxicity of extracellular vesicles derived from activated human natural killer cells

Describes a method for large-scale isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from activated NK cells. The G-Rex cell culture device allowed for the expansion of 1-3 billion aNK cells per 100 cm2, increasing EV production while reducing cost and complexity. Isolated EVs showed cytotoxicity against cancer cells.

Single-cell profiling of dynamic cytokine secretion and the phenotype of immune cells

A single-cell methodology integrating cellular phenotyping and dynamic cytokine secretion was developed using nanowell arrays. G-Rex 100M were used for the rapid expansion protocol (REP) of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to achieve desired cell numbers for experiments.

A single exercise bout enhances the manufacture of viral-specific T-cells from healthy donors: implications for allogeneic adoptive transfer immunotherapy

This study showed that collecting PBMCs after exercise increases the yield of VSTs. The VSTs were expanded in G-Rex10 for 8 days, demonstrating that exercise is a simple adjuvant for improving VST manufacture.

Safety of Intra-Arterial Injection With Tumor-Activated T Cells to the Rabbit Brain Evaluated by MRI and SPECT/CT

This study evaluated the safety of intra-arterial TIL delivery in rabbits. The human TILs used for infusion were expanded from glioblastoma tumors using G-Rex to obtain sufficient cell numbers for the experiment.

Anti-proliferative effects of T cells expressing a ligand-based chimeric antigen receptor against CD116 on CD34+ cells of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia

The authors developed GM-CSF Receptor (CD116) CAR T cells using the piggyBac transposon system. The transgenic CAR T cells were expanded in G-Rex 10 devices to generate effector cells for testing against JMML cells.

Plasticity and Aggregation of Juvenile Porcine Islets in Modified Culture: Preliminary Observations

The study reports that culturing juvenile porcine islets in Wilson Wolf gas-permeable (G-Rex) allows them to aggregate into functional 'pancreatites'. These flasks were also used for shipping the islets, maintaining viability and function.

Manufacture of GMP-compliant functional adenovirus-specific T-cell therapy for treatment of post-transplant infectious complications

This paper details the GMP manufacture of Cytovir ADV. The process utilizes a closed G-Rex 10 cell culture device for a 10-day expansion of adenovirus-specific T cells, requiring minimal intervention and achieving high purity and potency.

Efficient mRNA-Based Genetic Engineering of Human NK Cells with High-Affinity CD16 and CCR7 Augments Rituximab-Induced ADCC against Lymphoma and Targets NK Cell Migration toward the Lymph Node-Associated Chemokine CCL19

This study shows efficient mRNA electroporation of NK cells. Clinical-grade NK cells were expanded ex vivo using G-Rex prior to electroporation, allowing for the generation of large numbers of highly cytotoxic cells.

The beneficial effects of a gas-permeable for expansion of Tumor-Infiltrating lymphocytes as reflected in their mitochondrial function and respiration capacity

This paper investigates the use of G-Rex for TIL rapid expansion. Results show G-Rex rescues poor TIL growth, preserves clonal diversity, and yields cells with a more oxidative metabolic phenotype (higher mitochondrial capacity) compared to traditional flasks/bags.
