Now, results of a study led by Johns Hopkins investigators suggests that a device composed of a magnetic column paired with custom-made magnetic nanoparticles may hold a key to bringing immunotherapy into widespread and successful clinical use.
They then ran the plasma through a magnetic column. The tumor-fighting T cells bound to aapcs and stuck to the sides of the column,
while other cells washed straight through and were discarded. The magnetic field of the column activated the T cells,
which were washed then off into a nourishing broth, or culture, to grow and divide. After one week, their numbers had expanded by an estimated 5, 000 to 10,000 times.
Because numbers of these cells could be expanded quickly enough to be therapeutically useful the approach could open the door to individualized immunotherapy treatments that rely on a patient's own cells,
