Figure 1: Measurement of B cell proliferation. METHOD: Activity of B-Xpander™ and 2 different research grades of Multimeric hCD40L is measured by proliferation of human primary CD19+ B cells. Cells (5 x 10^4/well) are grown in RPMI medium, glutamine, 10% FBS, IL-4 (human) (10ng/ml), IL-21 (human) (10ng/ml) and different concentrations of B-Xpander™ CD40L (human) (rec.) (Animal-Free) (#AG-40B-0010AF), CD40L (human) (multimeric) (rec.) (CSG; Certified Serum Grade) (#AG-40B-0010CSG), CD40L (human) (multimeric) (rec.) (#AG-40B-0010), or a control protein. Cell proliferation is quantified after 4 days using PMS/MTS (CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay, Promega). Cells expanded by 10-fold after 4 days to reach 5 x 10^5/well.
Figure 2: B-Xpander™ (Prod. No. AG-40B-0010AF) induces B cell activation. METHOD: PBL cells were incubated in 96-well plates (2x10^5 cells/well in 100μl RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS) for 24 hours at 37°C with the indicated concentration of B-Xpander™ CD40L (human) (rec.) (Animal Free) (#AG-40B-0010AF), CD40L (human) (multimeric) (rec.) (#AG-40B-0010) or a trimeric human CD40L as a control. Cells were washed with PBS and stained with 2μl each CD86-PE and CD19-FITC in 50μl FACS buffer (PBS, 5% fetal calf serum, 0.02% azide) for 20 min. at 4°C in the dark. After two washes in FACS buffer, samples were then analyzed by flow cytometry.

Description
B-Xpander™ is a potent enhanced Multimeric human CD40L cytokine, for B cell activation, B cell expansion (proliferation) and cell therapy applications. In-house production using a proprietary protocol and a characterized and certified CHO cell line allows the supply of the most active Multimeric human CD40L proteins in GMP-like format.
Interest in B cells has recently increased in immunotherapies using Engineered B cells or Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs). However, current methods for B cell expansion are inefficient, time consuming and can lead to insufficient B cell numbers and persistent T cell exhaustion. Our B-Xpander™ protein improves current protocols for B cell stimulation by mimicking the natural interaction between CD40L and CD40 molecules on B cells.
B-Xpander™ Quality Features:
• Production in characterized and certified CHO cell line (for GMP-grade manufacturing)*
• High Bioactivity tested by ELISA/Cell-based Assays
• Verified Purity & Homogeneity by SEC
• Low Endotoxin Level
• Batch-to-Batch Consistency
• Animal-component free Production
• No cross-linking Reagents necessary
