| abstract |
The preset disclosure provides methods of culturing cells, e.g., pluripotent cells, multipotent cells, and/or immune cells (e.g., T cells, NK cells, and/or TILs) in a medium comprising at least about 5 mM potassium ion, wherein the medium is not hypertonic. In some aspects, the medium is hypotonic. In some aspects, the methods disclosed herein increases the number of less-differentiated cells in the population of cells. In some aspects, the cultured cells are engineered, e.g., to comprise a chimeric antigen receptor or an engineered T cell receptor. In some aspects, the cells are administered to a subject in need thereof. |
