Custom CAR-NK Manufacturing

Accelerate your novel cancer immunotherapy development by leveraging our cutting-edge CAR-NK manufacturing platform. As the most experienced CRO in the CAR-T cell industry, having developed over 60 types of CAR-T/NK cells and target cells in the last 5 years, we provide a complete and reliable service to drive your project forward.

  • Generate large numbers of cells with high purity.
  • Benefit from several patented innovations in CAR construct design.
  • Choose from mRNA electroporation or lentivirus transduction.
  • Supply your own monoclonal antibodies or leave development to us.

Choose ProMab for your CAR-NK manufacturing

With their efficient tumor-killing power, CAR-NK cells are a vital tool in the development of novel immunotherapies. We understand that you need access to quality cells-fast-when tackling cancers such as multiple myeloma, leukemia, and sarcoma. That’s why we developed our cutting-edge platform to generate large numbers of cells with high purity, arming you with the tools you need for your research.

Our platform, your cells

At ProMab, you can use our platform to generate customized cells to your own specifications. Our platform has 10 core components that can be configured for your own personalized needs for CAR-NK manufacturing. 

We can begin the process with a plan to include monoclonal antibody development or base the plan on your own existing antibody sequence to generate CAR constructs, giving you full control. Once the CAR constructs have been generated, you can choose between mRNA electroporation or lentivirus transduction as a delivery system to create your cells. To ensure that your cells are of the highest purity and quality, they undergo a range of functional assays and tuning, with continued optimization until they meet your project needs.

NK cells were generated from human PBMC, electroporated with CAR mRNA, and analyzed by flow cytometry for CAR expression 24 hours later.

Service plans and prices

To allow for either custom antibody creation or the use of your own antibody, we offer the following service plans and prices for CAR-NK manufacturing:

Plan A

Construct a CAR based on your antibody sequence construct from a mouse monoclonal antibody or fully human single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) from our existing library.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE DESCRIPTION Price
Phase I (optional) Immunization of Balb/C mice with recombinant protein or carrier-conjugated peptide. Generation of hybridoma cell lines following antibody validation against the correctly presented antigen. $6,995
Phase II (optional) Sequencing of the antibody's heavy and light chains. $1,800
Phase III Synthesis and cloning of an scFv with selected CAR domains into a lentivirus vector. Generation of 1x108 lentivirus viral particles. $7,000
Phase IV Transduction with lentivirus or electroporation with the CAR mRNA. FACS analysis to validate CAR expression in NK cells. $6,000 to 8,000
Phase V Measurement of CAR function: real-time cytotoxicity assay, quantitation of cytokine production (IFN-γ, IL-2, Granzyme B, GM-CSF). $7,000

Plan B
