The total number of T cells per 1 × 106 responder cells, the percentage of P495 tetramer-positive cells, and the absolute number of P495 tetramer-positive cells from 100 mL of peripheral blood are shown for 3 donors (A, J, Y). Values represent mean ± standard deviation after 10 to 14-day coculture on ER PBMCs, BLCL, AAPCA2P495, and AAPCA2pp65. Mean values represent at least 3 experiments.

*

Number of P495 tetramer-positive cells = [total number of T cells] × [% of tetramer-positive cells]:

Specific killing of T2 cells = [% killing of T2 cells pulsed with P495] minus [% killing of T2 cells pulsed with flu].
