Adherent PBMNC were cultured with the indicated combinations of cytokines for 7 days.

105 responding cells from allogeneic PBMNC were cultured with 103 irradiated stimulator cells (DC or PBMNC). Thymidine incorporation was measured on day 5 by a 16-hour pulse with3H-thymidine. The assay was conducted in triplicate and results show the means ± SD in cpm from one representative experiment out of four.
