Figure Lengend Snippet: Neutrophil activation and MSC survival in co-culture with neutrophils at time points 6 h ( a , c ) and 12 h ( b , d ). Ratios of 1 MSC/1 neutrophil, 1MSC/10 neutrophils and 1 MSC/100 neutrophils and control MSCs (no neutrophils) are shown. At time 6 h, universal blood donor and MHC II-high co-cultures had ratios where activation was significantly greater than the autologous co-culture. At time 12 h, only the MCH II-high co-cultures had greater activation as compared to the universal blood donor (BD) co-cultures. Median MSC survival was greater than 95% when co-cultured with neutrophils at time point 6 h ( c ) and 12 h ( d ). The only group with significant viability loss with neutrophils as compared to MSCs cultured alone was the MHC II-high group at 12 h
Article Snippet: MSCs were stained for MHC I (CVS22, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) and MHC II (CVS20, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) using antibodies used in previous publications [ , ].
