Table 2. Mean percentage of proliferation of healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with PHA in the presence of HD-MSCs, as compared with ALL-MSCs generated at day+0; +15; +33; +78 at two different MSC∶PBMC ratios (1∶2; 1∶10).

PBMC proliferation P value PBMC proliferation P value
Ratio 1∶2 Ratio 1∶10
HD-MSCs 6.19 (SD ±2.55) - 31.71 (SD ±13.49) -
ALL-MSCs d+0 9.85 (SD ±3.50) 0.38 42.24 (SD ±17.93) 0.31
ALL-MSCs d+15 8.64 (SD ±4.82) 0.42 34.07 (SD ±14.50) 0.46
ALL-MSCs d+33 10.66 (SD ±6.12) 0.36 40.85 (SD ±15.23) 0.34
ALL-MSCs d+78 11.84 (SD ±5.12) 0.33 36.61 (SD ±14.58) 0.41

Each value represents the mean ± SD of multiple experiments (each point being in triplicate). PBMC proliferation stimulated with PHA in the absence of MSCs was 71.80%. P values less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
