Zusammenfassung: | Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions related to optimization of selection of cord blood units to produce immune cells, such as NK cells, for adoptive cell therapy use. In specific embodiments, particular characteristics of the cord blood units and/or characteristics of cells derived therefrom are analyzed. When a threshold measurement for one or more characteristics is met for the cord blood unit(s) and/or characteristics of cells derived therefrom, the cord blood unit(s) are utilized as a source for production of immune cells. Specific characteristics for measurement include cord blood cell viability, total nuclear cell recovery, and nucleated red blood cell content, each prior to cryopreservation, and optionally cytotoxicity and/or expansion of immune cells subsequent to cryopreservation. |
