Fig. 2.
Group and individual rat T cell proliferative responses to ACI spleen cells. Lymph node cells (LNCs) were removed from recipient rats at 4 or 8 weeks after implantation with no carrier or cells (No Trt), scaffold only (Scaf), syngeneic Fischer ASCs plus scaffold (Syn+Scaf), or allogeneic ACI ASCs plus scaffold (Allo+Scaf). LNCs (3×105 cells/well) were stimulated with ACI or Fischer spleen cells (2×105 cells/well), and cultures were harvested at 3 or 7 days as indicated. Data are reported as ΔCPM that reflect that background proliferative responses to Fischer spleen cells have been subtracted from the proliferative responses to ACI spleen cells. The mean group response ± standard error of the mean is shown in (A). Individual rat responses from the Syn+Scaf and Allo+Scaf groups are shown in (B). All responses are from cultures harvested at 7 days. The significance of differences between groups are shown by brackets. NS, not significant.
