Production of T Cells for Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy: Using the Xuri™ Cell Expansion System W5

The Xuri cell expansion systems (Xuri W25 and W5) provide a functionally closed, single-use bioreactor that requires fewer operator intervention steps, reduces the risk of contamination, and controls the cellular environment to maximize cell yield. Data presented here highlight that at a cellular level, results from different bioreactors may appear similar, but differences can exist at the receptor expression level. Expansion of T Cells Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were expanded in static culture. On Day 5, 2-L Xuri Cellbag…

Bio on demandâ„¢

NNE Pharmaplan has developed a new facility concept called Bio on demandâ„¢, which enables facilities to be established in one to two years. The result is a flexible facility that is fully operational, locally compliant, and contains functioning quality systems. Bio on demandâ„¢ involves a high degree of single-use technology to ensure cost-effective production and fast establishment. Facilities based on our Bio on demandâ„¢ concept can be delivered globally, but they are primarily intended for growth markets where time-to-market is…

Development By Design

Unlike typical pharmaceuticals, cell therapies rely heavily on the manufacturing process for product attributes. As more products move out of the clinic and toward commercialization, the manufacturers of cell therapies are realizing that commercialization is unlikely to be successful without an effective methodology for manufacturing development. At PCT, we recognize that a successful commercial manufacturing vision includes the ability to provide consistently high product quality at a reasonable cost of goods that meets demand over the commercial life of a…
