CD19+/PI- and CD33+/PI- (ie, CD19-/PI-) cells were sorted and tested for sensitivity to C9i as described in “Materials and methods.” Cells were cultured in triplicate with DMSO, C9i, or PCi; harvested after 18 hours; and stained with annexin V. Values are mean ± SD of the percentage of total annexin V+ cells (PI+ and PI-). Time 0 represents the percentage of annexin V+ events immediately after cell sorting.
