Autologous T-cell proliferation by DCs generated in the presence of TPO and TNF-α. The cells prepared by culture for 7 days with 100 ng/mL TNF-α in the presence (▪) or absence (□) of 100 ng/mL TPO were used at graded doses as stimulator cells after γ-irradiation. In some MLRs, anti-CD3 mAb was added. Proliferation was assessed by adding 3H-thymidine (1 μCi per well [37 κBq/well]) during 72 to 90 hours of culture. Results represent the mean ± SD of triplicate cultures.
