GMP-Grade mRNA Electroporation of Dendritic Cells for Clinical Use

Methods Mol Biol. 2016:1428:139-50. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-3625-0_9.

Abstract

mRNA-electroporated dendritic cells (DC) are demonstrating clinical benefit in patients in many therapeutic areas, including cancer and infectious diseases. According to current good manufacturing guidelines, cell-based medicinal products have to be defined for identity, purity, potency, stability, and viability. In order to comply with the directives and guidelines defined by the regulatory authorities, we report here a standardized and reproducible method for the manufacturing of clinical-grade mRNA-transfected DC.

Keywords: Cell therapy; Dendritic cells; Electroporation; Good manufacturing practices (GMP); mRNA.
