Three days before the perfusion through the chips, each subset (i.e. CD4 and CD8) of cryopreserved control T and CAR-T cells were thawed, centrifuged at 300 x g for 8 min at 8 °C, counted and seeded in 24-well cell culture plates at a concentration of 3.0 x 106 cells per well. T cells were cultured for 3 days in X-VIVO 15 medium (BE02-060F; Lonza) supplemented with 5 ng/mL of rhIL-15 (130-093-955; Miltenyi Biotec), 1X Glutamax and 100 U/mL penicillin-streptomycin.
