The human leukocyte antigen-independent immune-modulatory potential of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) makes them a promising candidate for clinical cell therapy. A better understanding of their "immune-privileged" status is therefore of high priority. Here we used Ki-67-antigen staining to estimate T-cell alloreactivity in mixed lymphocyte cultures in the presence of hMSC as second or third party. We found that the allostimulatory activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) leading to an increased T-cell proliferation and interleukin-2 secretion is measurable only at low MSC/effector ratios (
