^* Cells were stained with fluorescence isothiocyanatic-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (FITC-IgG) as a control. ^{* *} Cells were stained with anti-HLA class I McAb following with FITC-IgG. ^△Cells were stained with anti-HLA class II McAb following with FITC-IgG. ^△△Mean fluorescence channel number (MCN) and percentages of positive cells (in parenthese).
