CAR-T Cell Expansion in a Xuri Cell Expansion System W25
Smith (2020) CAR-T Cell Expansion in a Xuri Cell Expansion System W25 Methods Mol Biol (IF: -1) 2086 151-163Abstract
Cell expansion is typically a long and labor-intensive step in CAR-T cell manufacture. The Xuri Cell Expansion System (CES) W25 semiautomates this step while functionally closing the process. Cells for autologous or allogeneic cell therapies are cultured inside a single-use Xuri Cellbag™ bioreactor. Wave-induced agitation, performed by a rocking Base Unit, transfers gas and mixes the culture. The integral UNICORN™ software allows customization of culture conditions and media perfusion schedules. Culture volumes can range from 300 mL to 25 L, making the Xuri CES W25 system suitable for both scale-up and scale-out manufacturing processes. CAR-T cell therapies have been successfully generated using the Xuri CES W25 system, which reduces manual labor compared with static culturing methods. This chapter details how to initiate a culture, install the Xuri CES W25, and install a 2 L Cellbag bioreactor. Protocols on inoculation, monitoring, and sampling are also outlined in this chapter.
