Description
Gibco CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion SFM supports the growth and expansion of human T lymphocytes. It is a complete serum-free, xeno-free medium consisting of CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion Basal Medium and CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion Supplement, which are mixed together prior to use.
CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion SFM is available with and without phenol red. This version of CTS OpTmizer SFM lacks phenol red, and is available in both bottle and bag format.
Features of CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion SFM include:
• Supports high-density T cell culture (>4 x 106 CD3+ T-cells/mL)
• Supports T-cell activation using Dynabeads magnetic beads, soluble antibodies, and stimulatory antibody-presenting cell protocols
• Similar phenotype, function (e.g., cytokine secretion profile), and viability to T-cells cultured with conventional human AB serum-supplemented medium
• Supports a T-cell phenotype similar to human serum-supplemented medium
• Demonstrates enhanced efficacy and persistence of CART-19 cells when grown in medium supplemented with CTS Immune Cell Serum Replacement (ICSR)
Demonstrated functional performance
Cells grown in CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion SFM with or without human serum demonstrate good cytokine production profiles in polyclonally activated T cells. CTS OpTmizer T-Cell Expansion SFM maintains the desired the CD62L+ central memory T-cell phenotype.
