Figure Lengend Snippet: Assessment of activation markers and memory T-cells. (A-E) Expression of CD69, CD137, CD38, and CD25 on T-cells after the culture of PBMCs with NS antigens in iCM, and coculture or not with IFN-γ-licensed MSCs. Representative flow cytometry plots of T-cells positive for CD69, CD137, CD38, and CD25 are shown on the left. (F-J) Percentage of naive T-cells, TEM, TEMRA, and TCM after culture of PBMCs in RPMI medium, with NS antigens in iCM, and coculture with IFN-γ-licensed MSCs. Representative gating strategy and flow cytometry plots of CCR7 and CD45RA expression on T-cells are shown on the left. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Then, IFN-γ-licensed MSCs were added to the PBMCs exposed to NS antigens and iCM (10:1 ratio) and cocultured for 72 h. After this period, the PBMCs were collected and stained with the following-conjugated antibodies: CD3-PE (Invitrogen), CD197 (CCR7)-FITC (Invitrogen) and CD45RA-APC (Invitrogen).
