Introduction
Cell therapy in which the T-cells are modified in the laboratory so they can fight tumor cells. T-cells can be taken and isolated from a normal or patient’s blood then modified to express the specific antigen which calls chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T).
After large scale of CAR-T cells are grown then injected or implanted into a patient for treatment. c.bird can introduce the procedure of T-cell expansion and accelerate the treatment timelines.

An innovative cell culture for human t cells
The Jurkat cell line, an immortalized line of human T lymphocyte cells, was the model used in this study. These data show the C.BIRD culture method can improve human T-cell growth without compromising cell viability in both 96-well and 24-well systems.

Augment the Human T Cell Activation in Standard 96-well Plates Using the C.BIRD Microbioreactor
T cell activation is an important procedure in the development or manufacturing process of T cell-based cell therapies. This study showed that the C.BIRD culture method augmented the activation level of the human T cell line in a 96-well culture scale. This feature can integrate with another C.BIRD function, improving human T cells growth. These features can help researchers shorten the timeline for process development of T cell-based cell therapies by using the C.BIRD culture method.
