Figure 1. HUVECs did not alter proliferation of CD4+ T cells.

Figure 1

CD4+CD25−Foxp3− T cells were co-cultured with primary female or male HUVECs at cell-to-cell ratios of 1:1; 2:1 and 10:1 (T cells:HUVECs). After 48 and 72 hours, proliferation of CD4+CD25−Foxp3− T cells was determined. Neither female (a) nor male (b) HUVECs altered T cell proliferation. Direct comparisons between female and male HUVECs (c) revealed no differences. Co-cultures with HUVECs are given as fold change of controls (T cells cultured alone). Samples from 16 normal pregnant women were analyzed in duplicates. Data are presented as means ± S.E.M. Statistical analysis among groups was performed using Two-way-ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
