Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exposure to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) abolish T cell responses only in high concentrations and following coincubation for more than two hours.

Immunotherapies based on reinfusion of autologous cells incubated ex vivo with peptides reconstituted in toxic solvents, such as DMSO, are now performed on a routine basis.
