Abstract in another language
A number of evolving medical therapies call for the controlled expansion of primary human T lymphocytes. After encapsulation in sodium cellulose sulfate–poly(diallyldimethyl) ammonium chloride polyelectrolyte capsules, T lymphocytes can be expanded without persisting activation. Here, the challenge of scaling up this process is addressed. Encapsulated T lymphocytes were cultured in spinner flasks as well as in several types of the bioreactor, including fixed and fluidized beds, a waved cell bag, and a standard stirred tank reactor (STR; 1‐L scale). Two proprietary T lymphocyte culture media as well as a standard RPMI‐based medium were used. As before, encapsulation coincided with the presence of only a low fraction of activated T lymphocytes (peripheral blood T cells) in the total population. Unexpectedly, growth rates were lower in well‐mixed reactors than those in cultivations under static conditions, that is, in T‐flasks. Switching the STR to low oxygen conditions (40% air saturation) improved the growth rates to the level of the static cultures and thus forms the potential basis for efficient scale‐up of T lymphocyte expansion. Results are presented on the ex vivo expansion of primary human T cells in T‐flasks and spinner flasks, as well as in several types of the bioreactor, including packed and fluidized beds, waved cell bags, and a standard stirred tank reactor.
