T cell Isolation from PBMCs
using 50nm Superparamagnetic IngenuityTM Beads
Advancing T Cell Isolation for CAR T Cell Therapy with Column-Free Technology
The therapeutic efficacy of CAR T cells in hematologic malignancies underscores the urgency for a cost-effective manufacturing process. T cell isolation, a crucial upstream step, significantly influences T cell quality and therapy success. 50nm superparamagnetic particles offer superior efficiency and eliminate downstream removal needs. Despite their clinical traction, existing options often rely on cumbersome column-based separation methods. Applied Cells IngenuityTM 50nm beads with column-free technology in MARS® Bar automates and streamlines T cell isolation, promising enhanced efficiency and scalability for CAR T cell therapy.
Efficient Isolation of T Cells from PBMCs using the MARS® Bar Platform, with No Compromise in Viability.
Starting from an initial average T cell purity of 49.92%, T cell positive selection was performed with the IngenuityTM 50nm CD4 and CD8 beads on the MARS® Bar system, resulting in an average recovery rate of 75.31% T cells with a mean purity of 91.68% (A, n= 12 samples).
Viability assessment before and after positive selection (B) revealed no significant impact (P<0.5) on cell viability, ensuring the integrity of T cells across the isolation process.
Robust Expansion of T Cells Enriched by IngenuityTM 50nm Beads Using MARS® Bar
T cells, enriched by IngenuityTM 50nm beads using the MARS® Bar platform, showed robust expansion in subsequent cell culture. The enriched T cells proliferated significantly, expanding over 112-fold by day 10 post-enrichment, following culturing the cells in T cell expansion medium supplemented with CD3/CD28 activator on standard cell culture plates. The substantial growth observed underscores the efficacy of T cell enrichment using Applied Cells’ workflow and highlights the potential for downstream applications in cellular therapies.Download the new Application note
