Figure 1 Schematic Representation of the RCL Assay T cell products are incubated with C8166-45 cells at a ratio of 1:5. Over half of test articles submitted contained approximately 1 × 108 T cells and were divided into twenty-five 300-cm2 flasks. Cultures were passed a minimum of 5 passages using increasingly smaller vessels. After 3 weeks, cells were placed in fresh media, and conditioned media were harvested after 24 hr. Media from all amplification cultures are pooled, and two aliquots are then incubated with naive C8166-45 cells. After 7 days, culture media were analyzed for p24 antigen by ELISA and either the psi-gag PCR assay or PERT. The figure depicts amplification of a low-titer RCL present in the test article.
