Influence of cryopreservation and the recovery cultivation time (4 h to overnight in RPMI-1640 with 10% FBS) on the recovery rate (a), viability of recovered PBMCs (b), the rate of NK cell isolation from the PBMCs (c), and the viability of isolated NK cells (d). Data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism using one-way ANOVA mixed-effects statistical analysis based on matched rows and recovery time as repeated measure with Tukey’s post hoc test. Overall p values for Figure 1a–d are <0.0001, 0.0126, 0.2553 (no statistical significance among three groups), and 0.0185, respectively; * p < 0.05 and **** p < 0.0001 (e) ADCC activity of trastuzumab with NK cells from immediately thawed PBMCs or overnight recovered PBMCs as effector cells with E/T ratio 20:1 measured after treatment for 5 h, 24 h, or 48 h. (f) ADCC activity of trastuzumab with immediately thawed or overnight recovered PBMCs as effector cells with E/T ratio 20:1 after treatment for 24 h. Data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism using two-way ANOVA with Šídák’s multiple comparisons test. Overall p value < 0.0001 for unrecovered compared to overnight recovered PBMCs. For (e,f), SKBR-3 cells were treated with trastuzumab (0–1 µg/mL) and NK cells, and killing of SKBR-3 was measured using the LDH ADCC assay. NC stands for the no-cell or media-only control, E stands for the effector-cell-only control, and T stands for the target-cell-only control.
