  • *Viability was determined using trypan blue exclusion and expressed as percentage of total cells. To pass quality control (QC) viability had to be >70%.

  • †Sterility was assessed by BacT/Alert and fungal screen on day 0, day 3 and final product (day 7). To pass QC, the product had to pass sterility screening with no organisms detected.

  • ‡CD11c and human leucocyte antigen—antigen D-related (HLA-DR) expression determined using flow cytometry and expressed as a percentage of viable cells. To pass QC, the percentage of positive cells had to be >90% for both markers.

  • §CD83 expression determined using flow cytometry and expressed as a median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of viable cells. To pass QC, CD83 MFI had to be <350.

  • ¶CD86 expression determined using flow cytometry and expressed as a MFI of viable cells. To pass QC, CD86 MFI had to be <1500.

  • **Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 expression determined using flow cytometry and expressed as a MFI of viable cells. For information only. Positive result=TLR2 MFI >200.

  • ††Interleukin (IL)-10 levels in supernatant from the 7 days culture were determined by ELISA. To pass QC, IL-10 levels had to be >1000 pg/mL.

  • ‡‡IL-12 levels in supernatant from the 7 days culture were determined by ELISA. To pass QC, IL-12 levels had to be <50 pg/mL.
