CD276-CAR NK-92 cells as well as parental NK-92 cells were co-incubated with calcein-labeled melanoma cell lines at indicated E:T ratios for 2 h. Specific cytotoxicity was assessed using a calcein release assay and is shown as mean ± SD, n = 3. Prior to the experiments, NK-92 and CD276-CAR NK-92 cells were either cultivated under hypoxic conditions (5% CO2, 1% O2) for 24 and 168 h (a–c), pre-treated with indicated concentrations of TGFβ (d–f), sodium l-lactate (g–i) or supernatants, previously collected from human fibroblast and cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) culture (j–l) as well as melanoma cell line culture (m–o), for 48 h; **** p < 0.0001.
