Release criteria for therapeutic MSPCs cover identity, purity and safety but appropriate potency assessment is often missing. Reports on functional heterogeneity of MSPCs created additional uncertainty regarding donor and organ/source selection. We established a robust immunomodulation potency assay based on pooling responder leukocytes to minimize individual immune response variability. Comparing various MSPCs revealed significant potency inconsistency and generally diminished allo-immunosuppression compared to dose-dependent inhibition of mitogenesis. Gamma-irradiation to block unintended MSPC proliferation did not prohibit chondrogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo, indicating the need for alternative safety strategies. date: 2015 publisher: BioMed Central id_scheme: DOI ppn_swb: 1655245406 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-198781 language: eng bibsort: KETTERLNINAROBUSTPOT2015 full_text_status: public publication: Stem Cell Research & Therapy volume: 6 number: 236 place_of_pub: London pagerange: 1-11 issn: 1757-6512 citation: Ketterl, Nina ; Brachtl, Gabriele ; Schuh, Cornelia ; Bieback, Karen ; Schallmoser, Katharina ; Reinisch, Andreas ; Strunk, Dirk (2015) A robust potency assay highlights significant donor variation of human mesenchymal stem/progenitor cell immune modulatory capacity and extended radio-resistance.
