Table 1. Cell-surface expression of CCR5 and CXCR4 in CD4+ T lymphocytes isolated from immortalized PBMCs.
Receptor | Donor #1 |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
IMM | PHA+IL-2* | IMM | PHA+IL-2* | IMM | PHA+IL-2* | |
CCR5 | 63 (2.6) | 28 (2.5) | 78 (2.7) | 21.6 (3.2) | 38 (3.4) | 24 (3.9) |
CXCR4 | 255 (2.6) | 185 (3.7) | 242 (3.5) | 169 (4.6) | 389 (3.9) | 268 (3.7) |
Unstimulated PBMCs from each donor were frozen in liquid nitrogen until the immortalized cells from the three donors were ready. Once the immortalized lines were established, the PBMC samples were thawed, stimulated with PHA and IL-2, and used to purify CD4+ T cells as described in Methods.
