Abstract
Purpose of review: Recent developments in regenerative medicine have precipitated the need to expand gene-modified human T cells to numbers that exceed the capacity of well-plate-based, and flask-based processes. This review discusses the changes in process development that are needed to meet the cell expansion requirements by utilizing hollow-fiber bioreactors. Maintenance of cell proliferation over long periods can become limited by unfilled demands for nutrients and oxygen and by the accumulation of waste products in the local environment.
Recent findings: Perfusion feeding, improved gas exchange, and the efficient removal of lactate can increase the yield of T cells from an average of 10.8E +09 to more than 28E +09 in only 10 days.
Summary: Aggressively feeding cells and actively keeping cells in the bioreactor improves gas exchange and metabolite management over semi-static methods. The ability to remove the environmental constraints that can limit cell expansion by using a two-chamber hollow-fiber bioreactor will be discussed.
期刊介绍:
The goal of this journal is to publish cutting-edge reviews on subjects pertinent to all aspects of stem cell research, therapy, ethics, commercialization, and policy. We aim to provide incisive, insightful, and balanced contributions from leading experts in each relevant domain that will be of immediate interest to a wide readership of clinicians, basic scientists, and translational investigators.
We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the discipline. Section Editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year on their topics, in a crisp and readable format. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
