Methods of Manufacturing Therapeutic Cells

원문 (중국어)

Provided are methods of manufacturing cells. The methods comprise expanding cells in the presence of inosine, and harvesting the cells after expansion. In certain embodiments, the cells are genetically modified. For example, the cells may be genetically modified to express an engineered receptor, non-limiting examples of which are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), engineered T cell receptors (TCRs), and the like. According to some embodiments, the cells are immune cells, e.g., T cells or natural killer cells. Also provided are populations of cells manufactured according to the methods of the present disclosure. Also provided are methods comprising administering an effective amount of a population of cells manufactured according to the methods of the present disclosure to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the subject has cancer, and the cells express an engineered receptor that binds to a tumor antigen on the surface of cells of the cancer.
