Absolute Numbers of CD56+ NK Cells Upon Sequential Culture of Transduced CD34+CD38 FL Cells Upon S17 and Cytokines

Cells were harvested after coculture of transduced FL cells on a monolayer of S17 stroma and the percentage of GFP+ cells was determined to get the indicated percentage of GFP+cells before culture. The harvested cells were further cultured in a cytokine combination consisting of Flt-3L, IL-7, and IL-15. Two weeks later, cell suspensions were analyzed by flow cytometry for GFP expression (% GFP+ cells after culture) and cell surface expression of the CD56 antigen. The percentage of GFP+ cells and therefore the absolute numbers of the input were different. To allow for a meaningful comparison, we expressed the output numbers per input number of 10,000 cells.
