Unlocking Cell Therapy’s Full Potential by Rewiring T-Cell Metabolism

A new approach from Labcorp and Xcell Biosciences mimics the tumor microenvironment and leads to more effective T-cell populations. This published research discusses the culture conditions emulating the tumor microenvironment can be used to generate more potent cell populations. Teams at Xcell Biosciences and Labcorp used the AVATAR system to compare the performance and effectiveness of CAR T-cells grown in conventional culture conditions versus conditions more closely mirroring the tumor microenvironment.

Given the bioanalytical complexities involved in ADC development—including various immunogenic impacts of all ADC components and the need for rigorous analysis of total ADC, monoclonal antibody (mAb) and free toxin—you need a bioanalytical services partner with extensive experience in bringing these treatments to market. At Labcorp, we are proud to be a highly experienced bioanalytical ADC development partner, currently supporting one-third of all ADCs in mid- to late-stage clinical trials.

Antibody drug-conjugates (ADCs): Analytical considerations for QC release, stability testing, characterization and comparability

An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) represents a biopharmaceutical molecule comprising the monoclonal antibody (mAb) delivery component, which is conjugated traditionally to a highly potent cytotoxin via a chemical linker though other conjugated moieties are being developed. Regardless of the conjugate, the analytical approach is similar. All three components, mAb, cytotoxin and chemical linker, are crucial to the efficacy of the ADC, as well as the drug antibody ratio (DAR). Additionally, they must be addressed when it comes to the selection of analytics for release testing, stability testing, as well as characterization and comparability analysis. Adding to the complexity of analyzing ADC product is the analytical requirement for mAb intermediate, cytotoxic drug intermediate, drug substance and drug product, with the production of these materials often occurring at different manufacturing sites.
