Human Serum OTC Type AB Male
EU and US-origin, off-the-clot, Type AB, male-donor human serum — the reference grade for CAR-T and NK cell expansion, MSC manufacturing and other xeno-free ATMP workflows.
Off-the-Clot Processing
Full native growth factor spectrum — PDGF, EGF, TGF-β, IGF-1 — released through natural platelet degranulation.
Type AB, Male-Only Donors
No anti-A/B antibodies and no TRALI risk from female donors, with reduced hormonal lot-to-lot variability.
Xeno-Free, ATMP-Aligned
Human-matched serum supporting Ph. Eur. 5.2.12 and EMA/410/01 ancillary material guidance for cell therapy manufacturing.
Customisable & No MOQ
Donor age on request, bottle or bag packaging, from evaluation volumes to bulk supply.
The reference grade for cell therapy expansion
Human Serum OTC Type AB Male combines three properties that matter most for cell therapy and ATMP manufacturing: it is human-derived (eliminating xenogenic immune responses seen with bovine serum), Type AB (no anti-A/B antibodies, making it compatible across donor and patient blood types), and sourced exclusively from male donors (removing the TRALI — transfusion- related acute lung injury — risk associated with female-donor plasma products, and reducing hormonal cycle-related variability).
The off-the-clot (OTC) processing method allows platelets to degranulate naturally during clotting, releasing a full native spectrum of growth factors — including PDGF, EGF, TGF-β and IGF-1 — that support robust expansion of T cells, NK cells and mesenchymal stromal cells.
For applications where bovine-derived FBS introduces regulatory complications, this grade is generally the most direct substitute — see our FBS vs. Human Serum comparison for the full regulatory and immunological context.
Typical applications
- CAR-T cell ex vivo expansion
- NK cell expansion
- MSC expansion for clinical/ATMP use
- Xeno-free cell therapy manufacturing
- GMP-adjacent cell culture workflows
