Umbilical Cord Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induce T Lymphocyte Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Arrest by Expression of Indoleamine 2, 3-Dioxygenase

Figure 2

UC-MSCs inhibited the release of IFN-γ of T lymphocytes in vitro. T lymphocytes were stimulated with PHA (10 μg/mL) during coculture with hUC-MSCs. The release of IFN-γ of T lymphocytes was measured by ELISA at 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d. Results are the average of 3 independent experiments. , compared to PHA-stimulated T lymphocytes controls.
