SCH 58261 (0.1 mM; 6 days) inhibited CD3+ T-cell proliferation. CFSE-labelled CD3+ T cells cultured in the presence or absence of A2A (SCH 58261; 0.1 mM) or A2B (PSB603) antagonists and then co-cultured with CD3+CD73+Vδ1 T cells isolated from breast tumour tissue. CD3+ T-cell proliferation was evaluated on day 6 by flow cytometry. The bar chart summarises the ratio of proliferating CD3+ T cells (CFSElow).
