Abstract Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or T-cell receptor (TCR) engineered T-cell therapy has recently emerged as a promising adoptive immunotherapy approach for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Multiparametric flow cytometry-based assays play a critical role in monitoring cellular manufacturing steps. Since manufacturing CAR/TCR T-cell products must be in compliance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), a standard or quality control for flow cytometry assays should be used to ensure the accuracy of flow cytometry results, but none is currently commercially available. Therefore, we established a procedure to generate an in-house cryopreserved CAR/TCR T-cell products for use as a flow cytometry quality control and validated their use. Methods Two CAR T-cell products: CD19/CD22 bispecific CAR T-cells and FGFR4 CAR T-cells and one TCR-engineered T-cell product: KK-LC-1 TCR T-cells were manufactured in Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE), NIH Clinical Center. The products were divided in aliquots, cryopreserved and stored in the liquid nitrogen. The cryopreserved flow cytometry quality controls were tested in flow cytometry assays which measured post-thaw viability, CD3, CD4 and CD8 frequencies as well as the transduction efficiency and vector identity. The long-term stability and shelf-life of cryopreserved quality control cells were evaluated. In addition, the sensitivity as well as the precision assay were also assessed on the cryopreserved quality control cells. Results After thawing, the viability of the cryopreserved CAR/TCR T-cell controls was found to be greater than 50%. The expression of transduction efficiency and vector identity markers by the cryopreserved control cells were stable for at least 1 year; with post-thaw values falling within ± 20% range of the values measured at time of cryopreservation. After thawing and storage at room temperature, the stability of these cryopreserved cells lasted at least 6 h. In addition, our cryopreserved CAR/TCR-T cell quality controls showed a strong correlation between transduction efficiency expression and dilution factors. Furthermore, the results of flow cytometric analysis of the cryopreserved cells among different laboratory technicians and different flow cytometry instruments were comparable, highlighting the reproducibility and reliability of these quality control cells. Conclusion We developed and validated a feasible and reliable procedure to establish a bank of cryopreserved CAR/TCR T-cells for use as flow cytometry quality controls, which can serve as a quality control standard for in-process and lot-release testing of CAR/TCR T-cell products.

BackgroundNEO-201 is an IgG1 mAb targeting variants of CEACAM5/6 and has demonstrated tumor sensitivity and specificity in epithelial cells. Functional analysis has revealed that NEO-201 can engage innate immune effector mechanisms including ADCC and CDC to directly kill tumor cells expressing its target. A recent Phase 1 clinical trial at the NCI has determined both safety and recommended Phase 2 dosing. We have also seen the expression of the NEO-201 target on hematologic cells, specifically Tregs and neutrophils. Due to epitope being expressed both on malignant epithelial cells as well as several hematologic cells, we designed this study to explore the reactivity of NEO-201 against hematological neoplastic cells in vitro.MethodsPhenotypic analysis was conducted by flow cytometry. Cell lines used were six AML (HL60, U937, MOLM13, AML2, IMS-M2 and OCL-AML3), two multiple myelomas (MM) (OPM2, MM1.S), two acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (SUP-B15, RPMI8402) and four mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (Jeko-1, Z138, JVM2 and JVM13). Markers used for flow cytometry analysis were CD15, CD45, CD38, CD138, CD14, CD19 and NEO-201. Functional analysis was performed by evaluating the ability of NEO-201 to mediate ADCC activity against AML cell lines using human NK cells as effector cells.Results5 of 6 AML cell lines tested bind to NEO-201 and the% of positive cells were 47%, 99.5%,100%,100% and 97.8% for HL60, U937, MOLM13, AML3 and IMS-M2, respectively. The% of positive cells in the two MM cell line were 99% and 18% for OPM2 and MM1.S, respectively. NEO-201 binding was not detected in the two ALL and the four MCL cell lines tested. Functional analysis has demonstrated that NEO-201 can mediate ADCC activity against the AML cell line (HL60) tested.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that NEO-201 mAb’s target is expressed in most of the AML cell lines tested in vitro. In addition, we have shown it can mediate ADCC activity against HL60 cells (AML). Together, these findings provide a rationale for further investigation of the role of NEO-201 in AML as well as MM, further exploring patient PBMCs and bone marrow samples.

Abstract AMD3100 (AMD) is a bicyclam compound that rapidly mobilizes hematopoietic progenitor cells into circulation by inhibiting stromal cell derived factor-1 binding to its cognate receptor CXCR4 present on CD34+ cells. Preliminary data in healthy donors and cancer patients show large numbers of CD34+ cells are mobilized following a single injection of AMD3100. To determine whether AMD3100 mobilized cells would be suitable for allografting, we performed a detailed phenotypic analysis using 6 color flow cytometry (CYAN Cytometer MLE) of lymphocyte subsets mobilized following the administration of AMD3100, given as a single 240mcg/kg injection either alone (n=4) or in combination with G-CSF (n=2: G-CSF 10 mcg/kg/day x 5: AMD3100 given on day 4). Baseline peripheral blood (PB) was obtained immediately prior to mobilization; in recipients who received both agents, blood was analyzed 4 days following G-CSF administration as well as 12 hours following administration of AMD3100 and a 5th dose of G-CSF. AMD3100 alone significantly increased from baseline the PB WBC count (2.8 fold), Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC: 2.5 fold), absolute monocyte count (AMC: 3.4 fold), and absolute neutrophil count (ANC: 2.8 fold). Subset analysis showed AMD3100 preferentially increased from baseline PB CD34+ progenitor counts (5.8 fold), followed by CD19+ B-cells (3.7 fold), CD14+ monocytes (3.4 fold), CD8+ T-cells (2.5 fold), CD4+ T-cells (1.8 fold), with a smaller increase in CD3−/CD16+ or CD56+ NK cell counts (1.6 fold). There was no change from baseline in the % of CD4+ or CD8+ T-cell expressing CD45RA, CD45RO, or CD56, CD57, CD27, CD71 or HLA-DR. In contrast, there was a decline compared to baseline in the mean percentage of CD3+/CD4+ T-cells expressing CD25 (5.5% vs 14.8%), CD62L (12.1% vs 41.1%), CCR7 (2.1% vs 10.5%) and CXCR4 (0.5% vs 40.9%) after AMD3100 administration; similar declines in expression of the same 4 surface markers were also observed in CD3+/CD8+ T-cells. A synergistic effect on the mobilization of CD34+ progenitors, CD19+ B cells, CD3+ T-cells and CD14+ monocytes occurred when AMD3100 was combined with G-CSF (Figure). In those receiving both AMD3100 and G-CSF, a fall in the % of T-cells expressing CCR7 and CXCR4 occurred 12 hours after the administration of AMD3100 compared to PB collected after 4 days of G-CSF; no other differences in the expression of a variety activation and/or adhesion molecules on T-cell subsets were observed. Whether differences in lymphocyte subsets mobilized with AMD3100 alone or in combination with G-CSF will impact immune reconstitution or other either immune sequela (i.e. GVHD, graft-vs-tumor) associated with allogeneic HCT is currently being assessed in an animal model of allogeneic transplantation.
