Fig. 2From: Human bone marrow-derived, pooled, allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells manufactured from multiple donors at different times show comparable biological functions in vitro, and in vivo to repair limb ischemiaIn vitro immunosuppression of alloreactive MLRs by Stempeucel®-1 and Stempeucel®-1A. a Suppression of MLR by mitomycin C-arrested Stempeucel®-1 (n = 15) and Stempeucel®-1A (n = 4) at three MLR: MSC ratios of 1:1, 1:2.5, and 1:10; MLR proliferation and suppression was measured by BrdU incorporation measurement as described in the “Methods” section. b Percentage of cells positive for HLA-DR in Stempeucel®-1 (n = 3) and Stempeucel®-1A (n = 3) cells at the basal level and after priming with TNFα and IFN-γ showed significant difference (***P = 0.0007). c Immunosuppression activity was retained in both Stempeucel®-1 and Stempeucel®-1A upon inflammatory priming at all three ratios of IFN-γ and TNFα primed, high HLA-DR expressing Stempeucel®-1 and Stempeucel®-1A cells did not reduce their immunosuppression capacity and a trend towards higher immunosuppression by primed cells was seen compared to unprimed controls.
