Development of anti-human mesothelin-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) messenger RNA (mRNA)-transfected peripheral blood lymphocytes (CARMA-hMeso) for ovarian cancer therapy

CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T/natural killer (NK)-cell therapies can result in durable clinical responses in B-cell malignancies. However, CAR-based immunotherapies have been much less successful in solid cancers, in part due to “on-target off-tumor” toxicity related to expression of target tumor antigens on normal tissue.

Development of Enhanced Potency Immunotherapy Products Using Nonviral Approaches

In the next 5–10 years we could see cellular-based pharmaceuticals, or cell therapy, meeting the unmet medical needs of thousands of people. How this therapy will meet these needs depends on the ability of researchers and manufacturers to successfully and cost effectively manufacture and deliver engineered cell-based therapeutic products that are safe and exhibit enhanced potency with resulting durable, meaningful clinical efficacy.

MaxCyte® Flow Electroporation® for Gram-Scale Transient Antibody Production in CHO-S Cells

Discover how MaxCyte® Electroporation, a fully scalable technology, enables high-titer antibody production by transient gene expression in CHO-S cells without requiring specific expression constructs, adapted CHO lines, specialized reagents or media additives. Explore how small-scale electroporation was used to identify optimal conditions that could be applied to large-scale transfection without loss of productivity or the need for further optimization.
