Abbreviation: lys, lysates; nt, not tested.
Lysis of Colo−/Colo+, CX−/CX+, and K562 target cells at a distinct E/T ratio of 10:1, by CD94+ and CD3−CD19− NK cells stimulated either with 100 IU/mL IL-2 only (control) or with a combination consisting of low-dose IL-2 (100 IU/mL) plus TKD (2 μg/mL; TKD), plus CX− exosomes/CX+ exosomes, or plus CX− lysates/CX+ lysates, at a concentration of 10 μg/mL each. Data represent mean values of at least three independent experiments ± SE.
Means significantly different from the relevant counterpart (P < 0.005).
