UM171 preferentially amplifies CD34+CD7+CD45+ NK cell progenitors. (A) Schematic diagram of experiments used to identify stage of NK development affected by UM171. (B) The effect of UM171 addition at stages 1 and 2 of NK cell differentiation. Bars are mean ± SEM for 3 independent experiments. (C) Phenotypic features of lymphoid progenitors generated in lymphoid cultures in the presence of UM171 or DMSO. (D) Upper panel shows the effect of UM171 on the proportion of cells with lymphoid progenitor phenotype on day 7 of NK differentiation (stage 1). Lower panel shows fold change in absolute numbers of CD34+ progenitors in cultures with UM171, as compared to DMSO controls. Bars are mean ± SEM for 3 independent experiments. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (E) Analysis of cell proliferation using BrdU assay in NK differentiation cultures, on days 5 and 11 of differentiation. (E) FAC-Sorting of cellular subsets from CD43+ HPs, on day 7 of lymphoid culture (stage 1), and assessment of their NK cell potential.
