    Abstract Background: Cell-based therapies are emerging as a viable modality to treat challenging diseases, resulting in an increasing demand for their large-scale, high-quality production. Production facilities face the issue of batch-to-batch consistency while producing a safe and efficient cell-based product. Controlling culture conditions and particularly media composition is a key factor of success in this challenge. Serum and Xeno-Free Media (SXFM) represent an interesting option to achieve this goal. By reducing batch to batch variability, they increase Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compliance and safety regarding xenogenic transmission, as compared to fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented-media or human platelet lysate supplemented medium.
    Methods: In this study, the isolation, expansion and characteristics including the anti-inflammatory function of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are compared after culture in MEM
    Results: We showed that MSC derived from human bone-marrow and adipose tissue can be successfully isolated and expanded in this SXFM. Number and size of Colony-Forming Unit fibroblast (CFU-F) is increased compared to cells cultivated in hCPL medium. All cells retained a CD90
    Conclusions: The use of MSC-Brew GMP Medium can therefore be considered for clinical bioprocesses as a safe and efficient substitute for hCPL media.

    Abstract Accurate characterization and comparison of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from small biological samples present significant challenges. The main challenge is the low material input, which compromises the quality of bulk sequencing and hinders the recovery of sufficient TCR sequences for robust analyses. We aimed to address this limitation by implementing a strategic approach to pool homologous biological samples. Our findings demonstrate that such pooling indeed enhances the TCR repertoire coverage, particularly for cell subsets of constrained sizes, and enables accurate comparisons of TCR repertoires at different levels of complexity across T cell subsets with different sizes. This methodology holds promise for advancing our understanding of T cell repertoires in scenarios where sample size constraints are a prevailing concern.

    Abstract Background: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial agent given to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as first-line therapy. It alleviates childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus cSLE skin and musculoskeletal disease, decreasing disease activity and flares. HCQ concentration-effect relationships in children remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of HCQ and possible concentration-effect relationships.
    Methods: HCQ blood concentrations and effects were obtained during clinical follow-up on different occasions. cSLE flares were defined using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI); flare was denoted by a SLEDAI score > 6. Blood concentration was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorometric detection. Statistical analysis was performed using a nonlinear mixed-effect approach with the Monolix software.
    Results: A total of 168 blood samples were obtained from 55 pediatric patients. HCQ apparent blood clearance (CL/F) was dependent on patients' bodyweight and platelet count. Patients with active cSLE had a lower mean blood HCQ concentration compared with inactive cSLE patients (536 ± 294 vs. 758 ± 490 ng/mL,
    Conclusion: We developed the first HCQ blood concentration-effect relationship for cSLE associated with active or non-active disease status. A prospective randomized study is necessary to confirm these results.

    Abstract T cell receptors (TCRs) are formed by stochastic gene rearrangements, theoretically generating ≫1019 sequences1. They are selected during thymopoiesis, which releases a repertoire of about 108 unique TCRs2,3 per individual. How evolution shaped a process that produces TCRs that would effectively respond to infectious agents is a central question of immunology. The paradigm is that a diverse enough repertoire of TCRs should always provide a proper, though rare, specificity for any given need. Expansion of such rare T cells would provide enough fighters for an efficacious immune response and enough antigen-experienced cells for memory3,4. We show here that thymopoiesis releases a large population of CD8+ T cells harbouring diverse α/βTCRs with innate-like properties. These TCRs (i) have high generation probabilities and a preferential usage of some V and J genes, (ii) are shared between individuals, (iii) are highly enriched for viral antigen recognition and (iv) have a fuzzy rather than tight specificity. In vitro, T cells expressing these TCRs bind to and are activated by multiple unrelated viral peptides; in vivo, they respond to vaccination and infection, being notably found in bronchoalveolar lavages of COVID-19 infected patients. Our results support an evolutionary selection of pleiospecific α/βTCRs for broad antiviral responses and heterologous immunity.
