And that’s why triplicates are so essential to good scientific research!

If Replicate #3 had been the only sample tested at that dose/condition, a completely inaccurate result would be observed.

At least 3 replicates give you the best statistical picture of what an experimental condition looks like.

CAR-T is often the last option for patients.
You only qualify after trying everything else.

CAR-T therapy will get to more patients faster.

And that will save lives.
