Patent attributes
The present invention provides a process for generation of genetically modified T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors comprising the steps: a) providing a cell sample comprising T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors b) preparation of the cell sample by centrifugation c) magnetic separation of the T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors d) activation of the enriched T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors using modulatory agents e) genetic modification of the T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors f) expansion of the genetically modified T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors in a cultivation chamber g) washing of the cultured T cells, T cell subsets and/or T cell progenitors characterized in that all steps are performed in a closed and sterile cell culture system.
