Proliferative responses of β2GPI-specific CD4+ T cell clones to various β2GPI preparations.
T-cell clones were cultured with autologous APCs for 3 days in medium alone or in medium supplemented with GP-F, GP1, GP2, GP3, native β2GPI, reduced β2GPI, MalBP (10 μg/mL), TT (5 μg/mL), or PHA (1 μg/mL), and antigen-induced T-cell proliferation was measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation. Significant T-cell proliferation to recombinant β2GPI or reduced β2GPI in comparison with the respective controls is shown as an asterisk. A representative result of 3 independent experiments is shown.
