The invention provides methods and compositions for preparing antibodies and antibody derivatives with reduced core fucosylation.

Platelet lysate compositions and cell culture media compositions for maintaining and/or growing mammalian cells, such as mammalian endothelial cells (ECs) and mammalian endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), in particular human ECs (huECs) and human EPCs (huEPCs), such as primary huECs and primary huEPCs, are provided. The cell culture media compositions contain a basal medium, a platelet lysate and, optionally, one or more exogenously added growth factors. Also provided are methods for making and using such cell culture media compositions to grow and/or maintain ECs and EPCs, including huECs and huEPCs, as well as cell culture vessels, dishes, plates, and/or flasks pretreated with the cell culture media compositions.

Provided is a large-scale cell culture system for producing products without harming animals. Also provided is a method for making meat products using this cell culture system. Further provided is a method for making personal care products using this cell culture system, as well as a method for making nutritional supplements using this cell culture system.

The present invention concerns a method for inducing differentiation of neuroectodermal oral stem cells, in particular from FCS osteogenic medium PL osteogenic medium gingival tissue (GSCs), into osteoblasts by culturing them in an optimal serum-free medium supplemented by necessary components such as platelet lysate, growth hormone, heparin, and/or growth factors. The invention method provides osteoblasts for cell therapy, particularly for the restoration of bone defects in maxillary bones.

Methods of improving recombinant protein titer and cell titer in cell culture using cell culture media having reduced impurities are provided, and well as cell culture media having reduced impurities that can used for the production of a recombinant protein and cells with improved titer. The cell culture media having reduced impurities comprises a HEPES buffer, and the reduced impurities are HEPES related impurities. In certain aspects, methods and media improve protein titer, cell growth, and/or viable cell density.

Described herein is a growth medium for culture of stem cells and/or primary cells, in particular hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the growth medium including a basal medium and a supplement, with the medium and/or supplement including a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, and two or more of a lipid, an amino acid or amino acid derivative, an antioxidative agent, and an inorganic salt. Further provided are methods of using the growth medium, as well as kits and formulations of the growth medium.

Provided are methods of making innate immune cell compositions containing gamma.delta (γδ) T cells and/or Natural Killer (NK) cells, and the resulting compositions and related products of manufacture and kits for use in cancer and infectious disease therapy. The methods provided herein permit tailoring of the relative amounts of gamma.delta (γδ) T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells in the compositions. for cellular therapies against a wide variety of cancers and infectious diseases. The resulting compositions can further be used to generate compositions containing either NK cells alone or gamma.delta T cells alone, for immune cellular therapies. The compositions provided herein also can be genetically altered: the gamma delta T cells and Natural Killer cells are modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) or exogenous T cell receptors (TCRs), which can be used to target any cell surface molecule either directly or indirectly, e.g., a marker on a cancer cell or an infected cell.

The present invention relates to a process for isolating Small Extracellular Vesicles secreted by umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMNCs) and compositions comprising said Small Extracellular Vesicles, which are useful to be applied to autoimmune diseases therapeutics or prophylactics and/or cosmetic purposes.

The proposed process for isolating UCBMNCs Small Extracellular Vesicles comprises three main steps: i) a first step of sequential centrifugation, ii) a second step of microfiltration combined with ultrafiltration (UF), and iii) a third step of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and aims to achieve highly pure Small Extracellular Vesicles and in a higher yield.

The SEVs compositions comprise specific type of proteins, RNA and lipids, that enables them to be very effective when applied to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases therapeutics, such as psoriasis, lupus, atopic dermatitis, eczema, etc. and also to cosmetic or prophylactic compositions.

Therefore, the present invention lays in the technical domain of pharmaceuticals, medicine, cosmetics, research and development in cellular biology and appliances thereof.

The present invention relates to a cell differentiation medium composition, a high secretion insulin-producing cells and a preparation method thereof. The high secretion insulin-producing cells obtained by using the cell differentiation medium composition to induce stem cell differentiated under specific conditions can secrete a large amount of insulin in a short time, and when the high-secreting insulin-producing cells are transplanted into the human body, they are not easy to be swallowed by macrophages, which can improve the survival rate of the insulin-producing cells and prolong the time of insulin secretion thereby.

Provided in the present invention is a cell freezing medium for clinical use. In particular, the cell freezing medium of the present invention comprises the following components: (1) human albumin; (2) cryoprotectant: the cryoprotectant comprises a combination of one or more of dimethyl sulfoxide, glycerol, and ethylene glycol; (3) a saline buffer; wherein the salt buffer is a solution containing Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, Mg.sup.+, Cl.sup.−, and CH.sub.3COO.sup.− ions; (4) a vitamin; and (5) an amino acid, wherein the human albumin concentration is 1%-20% (w/v). The cell, after long-term cryopreservation with the freezing medium of the present invention, has a high viability, and the cellular efficiency maintains a high uniformity. The grade of purity of the freezing medium of the present invention is the pharmaceutical grade or USP grade; and the freezing medium is safe and reliable for clinical use, and can be used or conventional adherent and suspension cells.
