Figure 4. Significant reduction of the human CD4+T cell response to dominant-negative mutant class II transactivator (CIITA-DN) porcine aortic endothelial cells.
Human (h) CD4+T cells were co-cultured with pAECs for 7 days (n=6). The response of hCD4+T cells was evaluated by [3H] thymidine incorporation. As a negative control, hCD4+T cells were cultured with culture medium (spont). There was a significantly lower hCD4+T cell response to CIITA-DN pAECs compared with WT pAECs (**P<0.01).
