USC team develops a powerful new analytical tool to advance CAR T cell therapy research

Keck School of Medicine of USC
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed an advanced analytical tool using spectral flow cytometry to analyze CAR T cells, revealing that a five-day expansion process enhances their effectiveness against cancer compared to a ten-day approach. This tool captures 36 cellular characteristics simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view that can optimize CAR T cell manufacturing and improve patient outcomes. The findings, published in Molecular Therapy, highlight the potential for tailoring production conditions to enhance the therapeutic potential of CAR T cell therapies.
