Cytotoxicity of CD4+ and CD8+ CTL bulk lines and clones generated by stimulation of PBMCs isolated from unrelated donors with HLA class I and class II-mismatched Fas+/− or Fas−/− LCL against Fas+/− and Fas−/− target cells in the presence or absence of EGTA or CMA, as detailed in “Materials and methods.” Effector/target ratios were 5:1.
