Improved Expansion and In Vivo Function of Patient T Cells by a Serum-free Medium
Improvements to T cell culture systems that promote long-term engraftment and function of adoptively transferred T cells will likely result in superior clinical benefit to more individuals. To this end, we recently developed a chemically defined cell culture medium that robustly expands all T cell s...

Improvements to T cell culture systems that promote long-term engraftment and function of adoptively transferred T cells will likely result in superior clinical benefit to more individuals.
