Considerations-Cell Therapy Product Survival/Engraftment The biocompatibility of the cell delivery device and the CT product (considerations include cell shearing, adsorption onto the walls of the catheter/syringe) The Route of Administration. The genetic relationship of the cells to the host animal (autologous/ syngeneic, allogeneic, or xenogeneic). The immune status of the host animal. The timing of cell administration relative to the onset of the disease/injury (i.e., the pathophysiologic status of the microenvironment). Distribution Various methods, such as imaging modalities used for detection of radioisotope-labeled cells, genetically modified cells (e.g., expressing green fluorescent protein), nanoparticle-labeled cells (e.g., iron-dextran nanoparticles), or the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis and immunohistochemistry to identify cells of human origin or cells of a karyotype different than the host (e.g., gender) Differentiation and Integration Local microenvironment Tumorigenicity The differentiation status profile of cell types within the CT product (ranging from undifferentiated/embryonic to terminally differentiated/specialized). The extent of cell manipulation employed during manufacture of the product and the resulting growth kinetic profile (e.g., minimal, culture expansion only, culture expansion with/without growth factors, ex vivo differentiation, ex vivo transduction with or without cell expansion). The expressed transgene (e.g., various growth factors) of genetically modified cells. The potential to induce or enhance tumor formation from existing sub-clinical host malignant cells. The target patient population.

That's why the industry is interested in doing great deals with young companies that can move fast to solve big scientific problems," said Abbie Celniker, Ph.D., partner at Third Rock Ventures. "Sharing risk among a small team of technologists and scientists is a very different culture than being in a large pharmaceutical company that must meet requirements of stock goals.
