Subpopulations were quantified immediately after IFN-γ capture–based cell isolation by staining with fluorescent monoclonal antibodies specific for CD4, CD8, CD14, and IFN-γ. Staining was evaluated by flow cytometry. Because of transient down-regulation of T-cell markers after activation and partial blockade of IFN-γ epitopes, this analysis may underrepresent the true proportions of T cells and IFN-γ+ cells (see text and Table 3).
