Fig. 1 TNF-α production by transduced leukemic cells. (A) Time-course analysis of TNF-α production by K562 leukemic cells transduced with the AdTNF.F(pK7) vector at various m.o.i. (B) TNF-α production by AML cells 72 h after transduction with AdZ.F(pK7), AdTNF, or AdTNF.F(pK7) vector. (C) Time-course analysis of TNF-α production (top) by 30 samples of AML cells transduced with the AdTNF.F(pK7) vector and viability of these cells measured by annexin V/PI (bottom). The horizontal mark indicates the median. (D) Detailed results of (C), top, for the seven AML samples that could be cultured for up to 3 weeks.

Fig. 3 IL12 production of maturated AML cells and proportion of leukemic cells after maturation. (A) IL12 production by AML cells maturated with recombinant TNF-α, AdZ.F(pK7), or AdTNF.F(pK7). Data represent means and standard deviation of experiments performed in quadruplicate. (B) Ratio of AML1-ETO-positive leukemic cells in AML cells maturated with recombinant TNF-α, AdZ.F(pK7), or AdTNF.F(pK7) compared to AML cells cultured in control medium. Data represent means and standard deviation of experiments performed in triplicate with AML cells isolated from one patient with AML1-ETO-positive AML.

Fig. 7 Cytotoxicity experiments. (A and B) Results from patients 3 and 4, respectively. Cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells, sorted from T cells expanded with autologous AML cells maturated by recombinant TNF-α, AdZ.F(pK7), or AdTNF.F(pK7), against autologous AML cells or K562 cells. CD8+ T cells from patient 3 were tested against AML cells from patient 4 and vice versa. Data represent means and standard deviation of experiments performed in quadruplicate.
