Cell surface PD-L1 expression was measured by flow cytometry in the presence or absence of IFNγ (20 ng/mL for 24 hr, left panels) and killing of control or IFNγ pre-treated tumor cells (20 ng/mL for 24 hr) by haNKs or PD-L1 CAR haNKs was measured by impedance analysis for murine MOC1 (A) or MOC2 (B) HNSCC cells. Representative impedance curves are shown in the central panels, and plots of quantification of effector cell killing (% loss of cell index) at 12 hr are shown in the right panels. This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
