1934.4 hybridoma assay. 1934.4 hybridoma cells (5 × 104) were incubated with 5 × 105 PL/J spleen cells and various concentrations (0.01 to 1,000 μmol/L) of Ac1-11 [4A] for 24 hours in the presence of CD31 peptide (200 μg/mL) or the absence of peptide. The IL-2 production of the Ac1-11 [4A]-reactive hybridoma 1994.4 was used as a readout system for antigen presentation. IL-2 production was measured by proliferation of the IL-2–dependent cell line HT-2 in the presence of supernatants from 1994.4 cultures. Results are expressed as the mean cpm from triplicate cultures. Results are representative of 3 separate experiments
