Ready-to-use sterile CAR-T cell lines for leukemia research

Written by Amsbio

Amsbio (Oxford, UK) offers a growing list of experimental cell lines, recombinant proteins, and screening services to help accelerate the development of new CAR-T cell therapies.

Personalized treatment for cancer reached a new milestone in 2017 with the FDA approval of CAR-T cell therapy for the treatment of children and adolescents with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Amsbio Business Development Manager – Maja Petkovic commented, “The first FDA approved treatments were CAR-T cells directed against the B cell protein CD19. This success inspired new research that demonstrated CAR-T cell therapy targeting multiple B cell proteins offers improved cancer treatment by reducing tumor recurrence from antigen escape, enhancing anti-tumor efficacy through synergistic recognition, overcoming tumor heterogeneity, and potentially improving treatment specificity.”

Petkovic added, “Our ready-to-use CAR-T cell line portfolio is extensive and growing. It includes knockout cell lines for TCR, B2M, and CIITA, enabling the modelling of universal CAR-T cells. We can also provide sterile, pathogen- and mycoplasma-free cell lines expressing common CAR targets like BCMA, CD19, CD20, CD22 and more, many of which include the luciferase reporter for simple monitoring. Amsbio now can also offer ready-to-use CAR-expressing cells for assay design/optimization and as positive controls in co-culture assays, as well as bispecific CAR T cells targeting CD19 & CD22.
