  • Publication number: 20100087001
    Abstract: The invention provides cytokine induced killer (CIK) cell populations and methods of using CIK cells to treat cellular proliferative disorders. CIK cells generated in vitro include both bulk cultures and clones. Individual CIK cell clones display distinct but overlapping lytic specificities for tumor cells and endothelial cells in vitro. When injected in vivo, bulk CIK cell cultures selectively attack tumor tissue. CIK cells can be used to treat a variety of cellular proliferative disorders, including early and late stage cancers as well as hematopoietic cell and solid tissue tumors.

  • Publication number: 20090305626
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a ready-to-use modular cleanroom and facility, in particular for the production of drugs and biological substances, which is equipped with pre-approved manufacturing equipment cores. The modular cleanroom is implemented in the interior space of a container, such as a standard shipping container, and includes at least one bioreactor station. The modular facility can be installed on-site from pre-approved cleanroom modules without further regulatory approval. The cleanroom and facility comply with FDA-approved good manufacturing practices (GMP) and good laboratory practices (GLP).
