The Human T Cell Selection, Activation and Expansion Kit – GMP was designed to gently isolate highly pure T cells and activate them for use in cell therapy workflows and is manufactured under stringent adherence to GMP requirements. In this positive selection workflow, T cells are isolated, activated, and expanded using Akadeum’s Selection, Activation & Expansion Microbubbles – GMP, in combination with a GMP antibody cocktail that targets CD3 and CD28. Highly scalable, this process yields large numbers of activated and transducible cells needed for process development and preclinical research of T cell based therapies. The gentleness of flotation-based separation and activation results in fewer exhausted cells compared to legacy activation methods, leading to better T cells and improved cell therapy workflows.
GMP Compliance per 21 CFR 820, 211, 210 and 11
Sterile, low endotoxin kit components per USP guidelines
Greater activation and lower cellular exhaustion for healthier cells, enabling better therapies
Improved expansion of highly activated effector T cell populations.
Scalable: process billions of cells with the Alerion™ Microbubble Cell Separation System
Closed-system in-bag workflows available
Clinical Ready Grade available to support clinical trials through commercialization of your cell therapy pipeline
Akadeum’s novel approach to positive selection for CAR-T cell production provides improvements over current industry standard methods, and the innate scalability of BACS™ microbubbles allows for rapid optimization of cell therapy workflows.
Using washed leukopak material or PBMCs as a starting material, T cells are labeled with biotinylated antibodies (GMP grade) targeting CD3 and CD28. BACS™ Selection, Activation & Expansion Microbubbles – GMP are mixed into the sample where they bind to the labeled cells and gently float them to the surface. Unwanted cells can be removed from below the microbubble layer, and the positively selected T cells transferred to a culture vessel.
BACS™ are inherently inert and do not impact culture conditions. Over time and with cell division, cells gently settle to the bottom of the plate where they continue to expand until collection.
