AdMSC immunosuppressive activity. AdMSC immunosuppressive activity over T cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody after 5 days of culture. AdMSC were cocultured with different concentrations with CFSE-labeled PBMC stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody. AdMSC:PBMC ratios were 1:10, 1:50 and 1:100 (n = 11). After 5 days, PBMC were intracellularly labeled with anti-CD3 PE-CY5 antibody (Becton, Dickinson and Company, USA) and analyzed by FACS (FACScalibur, BD Company, USA), to determine AdMSC suppressive activity over the T cell proliferation, in a cell-cell contact condition. To calculate the percentage of proliferation inhibition, the following formula was used, considering all conditions with anti-CD3 stimulus: [(% CD3 + CFSElow cells- % CD3+ CFSElow cells with AdMSC)/% CD3+ CFSElow cells] * 100. The background of CFSE-positive unstimulated cells was lower than 1%. Note assays displaying high (>50%) or low (<50%) suppressive activity. Percentage of inhibition of T cell proliferation was compared usind AdMSC:PBMC different ratios. One-Way ANOVA. *p < 0.05.
