CFSE labelled PBMCs (5 x 104/well) were stimulated with anti CD3/CD28 beads (1 x 104/well) (P+B) in the presence or absence of HIDEMs/mesoangioblasts at decreasing ratios (HIDEM/mesoangioblast:PBMC). On day 6 cells were harvested and stained with anti-CD3 antibody and 7AAD, and analysed by flow cytometry. CFSE dilution was analysed on gated CD3+ 7AAD- cells. The percentage of CD3+CFSE dividing cells was calculated for each group and compared to the positive control (P+B), followed by plotting against HIDEM/mesoangioblast:PBMC ratios. Experiments were carried out in duplicates. n=2
