Figure Lengend Snippet: Toxicity of different concentrations of the cryopreservation medium STEM-CELLBANKER ® EX (SCB) towards K562 cells, primary NK cells, and NK-92 cells; cell viability was assessed via flow cytometry after 24 h incubation. A: Relative viability of K562 cells incubated with 0–100% SCB at 37°C and room temperature (RT) (n = 3 independent experiments, each 1 technical replicate); statistical analysis: two-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test within RT and 37°C groups. B: Relative viability of primary NK cells with 0–100% SCB at RT, 37°C, and 37°C + 500 U/mL IL-2 (left, n = 1 experiment, 1 technical replicate; no statistics performed) and with 0–25% SCB at 37°C (right, n = 2 donors/experiments, each 3 technical replicates); statistical analysis: two-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test. C: Relative viability of NK-92 cells with 0–100% SCB (left, n = 1 experiment, 3 technical replicates) and 0– 25% SCB (right, n = 1 experiment, 3 technical replicates) at 37°C; statistical analysis: one-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test. Bars represent mean ± SEM (ns = not significant; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ****p < 0.0001).

Article Snippet: Purified cells were cultured in NK-MACS ® medium (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) with 5% human AB serum (PAN-Biotech), NK-MACS ® supplement (Miltenyi Biotec), 100 U/mL penicillin plus 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich), and 500 U/mL recombinant human IL-2 IS (Miltenyi Biotec).
