Fig. 5. CrmA expression protects CEM-C7H2 T cells from being killed by malignant plasma cells. CrmA-transfected T cells (clone 2E8, □) and T cells carrying the relevant vector control (clone IC3, ▪) were labeled with 3[H]-thymidine for 5 hours and cocultivated with the unlabeled neoplastic plasma cell lines for 72 hours using the predetermined E/T ratio of 10:1. Treatment of T cells with 0.25 μg/mL anti-Fas MoAb served as an internal control for the assay. Mean values ± SEM (n = 8) are given. The decrease in DNA-incorporated radioactivity was used to calculate the percentage of myeloma cell–mediated target cell death. Mean values ± SEM (n = 8) are shown.
