Cell Therapy
Cell therapy is a cutting-edge medical treatment that uses live cells as the final drug products to repair or replace damaged tissues or enhance immune function to treat various diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. This innovative approach can utilize a range of cell types, including stem cells for tissue regeneration, and engineered T cells expressing specialized T cell receptors (TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), as well as many other cell types like natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages. Autologous cell therapy utilize patient’s own cells as a starting material and allogeneic cell therapy involve the use of donor cells. The development of cell therapy requires various robust and vigorous analytical testing to ensure its potency and safety to meet the regulatory requirements.

Commonly Asked Questions When Developing Cell Therapies
Cell Health and Metabolism
Are my cells alive, proliferating and metabolically fit?
Molecular Characterization
Do my cells contain the correct CAR sequence? Do they share the same identity as the parental cells? Are there mycoplasma or other contaminants?
Potency and Functional Assays
Do my cells produce the expected cytokines? How potent are my cells? How do I screen and validate new TCR/CARs? Are my cells functional in vivo?
