@AmirHorowitz As it was also a GMP/practical consideration, we didn't test this systematically, we should. The feeling based on the importance of myeloid derived cytokines for adaptive expansions is ofc that there might be.
@DjaoudZ @MalmbergLab Hi Zakia! As the protocol is intended for GMP manufacturing, a CD3/CD19 depletion is preferable as this is a one-step CliniMacs standard procedure (so cheaper and easier than CD56 enrichment). But expanding from isolated NK works too!
Selective expansion of adaptive NK cells from “superdonors”. This paper describes the pre-clinical evaluation, scale-up and GMP transfer activities paving the way for our next NK cell therapy trial. Team effort led by @AlvaroHaroun and @ebba_sohlberg with lots of collaborators.
@BarbaraLKee@malmberglab@BarbaraLKee @AlinePfefferle In our 7-day IL-15 driven proliferation model, rapidly dividing cells have increased Ki-67, and enter the cell cycle with higher levels in G0/1 each time.
