  1. Phenotype switch of isolated naive CD4+ T-cells from healthy donors (HD) and patients (Pat) in presence/absence of MSCs after 6 days of Th17 stimulation. Average percentages and absolute count of the different phenotypes of all CD4+ T-cells are shown; Values are shown as follows: mean ± standard deviation (median; minimum – maximum)
  2. aDifferences between Effector T-cells in HD with MSCs vs. without MSCs: p = 0.029 (Mann–Whitney-U-Test)
  3. bDifferences between Effector T-cells in Pat with MSCs vs. without MSCs: p = 0.029 (Mann–Whitney-U-Test)
  4. There were no significant differences between other phenotypes in Pat or HD with MSCs vs. without MSCs (Mann–Whitney-U-Test)
