Streamlining the CAR T cell therapy workflow: A look into closed and semi-automated processes

26 Oct 2023

In this application note, Cytiva outlines a CAR T cell manufacturing workflow, addressing challenges associated with the complex and costly manufacturing process of T cell immunotherapies. The described semi-automated, closed CAR T process is designed for commercial production, achieving a substantial expansion of T cells (1 × 1010) with high transduction efficiency (greater than 80% eGFP) over an 8-day manufacturing period. This approach aims to enhance the feasibility and efficiency of CAR T cell production for widespread clinical applications.

Sepax™ C-Pro Cell Processing System

Cytiva

The Sepax C-Pro Cell Processing System, which is comprised of the instrument, Sepax C-Pro protocol software, and kits, allows you to combine multiple processing steps in a versatile manner. These steps include but are not limited to enrichment, magnetic bead incubation, spinoculation, concentration, washing, dilution, and splitting.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines.

Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.ImmunotherapyImmunotherapy is a treatment approach that utilizes the body�s immune system to fight diseases, especially cancer. It includes therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cell therapy. Immunotherapy is a rapidly growing area of research in oncology and autoimmune diseases. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best immunotherapy tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Drug DevelopmentDrug development refers to the process of bringing a new drug to market.
