CD40 induces migration in human MM cells expressing mutant p53. / MM cells were plated on a polycarbonate membrane (8 μm pore size) precoated with fibronectin (5 μg/mL [μM]) in the transwell cluster plate and were activated using 0 to 10 μg/mL (μM) sCD40L (A) or anti-CD40 mAb (G28.5) (B) added to the lower chamber. Cells were cultured at restrictive temperature (37°C) with mt p53 or at permissive temperature (28°C) with wt p53. Migrated cells in the lower chamber were counted using a Coulter counter ZBII.
