The above data represent the mean ± SD from three separate experiments in which Ramos B cells were stained with FITC-annexin at t = 24, 28, and 36 hours of culture. The percentage of annexin-positive cells in control cultures containing medium alone was 15%, 27%, and 38%, respectively, for these pooled experiments. The MoAb:cell ratio at the concentration of 100 μg/mL was 20 μg/105 cells and at 10 μg/mL was 2 μg/105 cells.
