Description
Every cell therapy (CT) product must be tested prior to release and distribution to ensure that specified requirements for safety, purity and potency have been met. Speakers will review the most common test methods for routine CT products, such as hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) from blood, marrow and cord blood, as well as a few investigational CT products. Bringing a new or modified test method online presents special challenges to ensure that reported results are accurate and robust, that technologists are both competent and proficient and that clinicians understand the clinical implications of new or modified tests. Approaches to meet these challenges will also be presented.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Describe test methods for manipulated, cultured and other products that might require tests such as mycoplasma, endotoxin or functional evaluations.
- Discuss strategies for implementation of common CT test methods.
- Review regulations and accreditation standards related to CT product testing.
- Review test methods, kits, tools and other resources for common, established CT product tests such as cell counts, viability, flow cytometry and CFU assays.
