    摘要: Embodiments are described that relate to methods and systems for growing cells in a hollow fiber bioreactor. In embodiments, the cells may be exposed to a number of growth factors including a combination of recombinant growth factors. In other embodiments, the cells may be grown in co-culture with other cells, e.g., hMSC's. In embodiments, the cells may include CD34+cells.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein generally provide for expanding cells in a cell expansion system. The cells may be grown in a bioreactor, and the cells may be activated by an activator (e.g., a soluble activator complex). Nutrient and gas exchange capabilities of a closed, automated cell expansion system may allow cells to be seeded at reduced cell seeding densities, for example. Parameters of the cell growth environment may be manipulated to load the cells into a particular position in the bioreactor for the efficient exchange of nutrients and gases. System parameters may be adjusted to shear any cell colonies that may form during the expansion phase. Metabolic concentrations may be controlled to improve cell growth and viability. Cell residence in the bioreactor may be controlled. In embodiments, the cells may include T cells. In further embodiments, the cells may include T cell subpopulations, including regulatory T cells (Tregs), for example.

    摘要: Embodiments for coating a bioreactor with a reagent are described. The embodiments may provide for changing flow rates, direction of flow, and/or bioreactor rotation to enhance the coating of the bioreactor prior to growing cells in the bioreactor.

    摘要: In order to prevent or suppress a blood component from being unnecessarily mixed to other bags by returning blood moved to a tube from a bag before centrifuge to the bag during the centrifuge. A blood bag system (10) has a cassette (50) (tube holder) for holding at least a part of the first transfer tube (21). The cassette (50) holds the first transfer tube (21) such that a distance between a rotation center (O) in application of a centrifugal force and the first transfer tube (21) increases toward the blood collection bag (11) side across a length between a flow path close position caused by the first clamp (71) in the first transfer tube (21) and the blood collection bag (11).
