Autologous Dendritic Cell Vaccine Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS-003 was manufactured at a centralized GMP compliant facility (Argos Therapeutics, Durham, NC). Following screening and consent, autologous tumor total RNA was isolated from nephrectomy or metastasectomy tissue samples and messenger RNA was amplified using RT/PCR and in vitro transcription technologies as previously described [47 (link)]. CD40L RNA was manufactured using in vitro transcription and a post-transcriptional capping method [48 (link)]. Patients had leukapheresis at the clinical site’s donor center using a COBE Spectra® Leukapheresis System (Gambro BCT, Lakewood, CO). Monocytes were cultured in AIM-V media with 800 U/mL granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (Berlex) and 1000 U/mL IL-4 (R&D Systems) to generate immature DCs that were then matured using 20 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) (R&D Systems)/1000 U/mL IFN-γ (InterMune)/1 μg/mL prostaglandin E2 (Sigma). Mature DCs were electroporated with the amplified tumor RNA and CD40L RNA using a post-maturation electroporation protocol [10 (link)].
The final AGS-003 product was formulated as 1.4 × 107 DC/0.7 mL in 80% autologous plasma, 10% dextrose (50% w/v) (Hospira), and 10% DMSO (Sigma) and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Thawed samples of final product were assessed for sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin, and viability prior to release for clinical use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD8+ or CD14+ cells were enriched by human CD8 or CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec), respectively. CD14+ cells were cultured with 100 ng/mL GM-CSF (R&D Systems) and 25 ng/mL interleukin-4 (IL-4) (R&D systems) for 6 days to differentiate into DCs. On day 5, 10 ng/mL IL-6 (R&D Systems), 10 ng/mL IL-1β (R&D Systems), 10 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (R&D Systems), and 1 μg/mL PGE2 (Sigma-Aldrich, P5640, Tokyo, Japan) were added for DC maturation. All cells were cryopreserved unless they were required for immediate use. For the first round of stimulation, 5 × 105 CD8+ cells were cocultured with 5 × 104 DCs in the presence of pooled peptides (3.3 μg/mL each peptide) for 12 days. 100 U/mL IL-2 (Shionogi), 5 ng/mL IL-7 (PeproTech, Cranbury, NJ, USA), and 5 ng/mL IL-15 (PeproTech) were added from day 3. For the second round, proliferated cells were restimulated with a 10–50:1 ratio of DCs. Cytokine-containing fresh medium was periodically added every 2 or 3 days. For the third or fourth round, peptide reactive cells were further cocultured with a 5–50:1 ratio of DCs with a 3 μg/mL single peptide. Responses to corresponding single peptides were monitored by IFN-γ ELISPOT assay or CD137 upregulation by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) 20–24 h after C1R-A∗24:02 and 10 μg/mL peptide stimulation.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
