Flow cytometry analyses of red fluorescent protein (RFP) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in mCMV-GFP-EF1-Puro infected primary breast tumor cells to set the gate thresholds and the SRR2-mCMV-GFP-EF1-RFP infected primary breast tumor cells showing % RFP+ cells (lentivirus infection efficiency) and % RFP+ GFP+ cells (% of patient reporter responsive (RR) cells). Table summarizes data from 19 primary breast tumor samples. The asterisks denote samples where the primary breast tumor cells % RFP+ could not be accurately assessed due to technical issues but is estimated to be approximately 60%. IHC denotes immunohistochemistry; N/A, not analyzed.
