Surrogate in vitro activation of innate immunity synergizes with interleukin-7 to unleash rapid antigen-driven outgrowth of CD4+ and CD8+ human peripheral blood T-cells naturally recognizing MUC1, HER2/neu and other tumor-associated antigens

Describes a culture method using GM-CSF, TLR agonists, and IL-7 to expand antigen-specific T-cells from PBMC. The study confirmed the culture method could be scaled up using G-Rex 100M vessels, showing effectiveness comparable to 24-well plates for patient treatment.

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.

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.
