Induction of PBL proliferation and IFN-γ secretion after DC vaccination. PBLs from patients 1 (Ai,Bi), 5 (Aii,Bii), 8 (Aiii,Biii), 9 (Aiv,Biv), and 10 (Av,Bv) before (▪) and after (□) vaccination were cultured for 7 days in RPMI containing 10% human AB serum in the presence of 100 μg/mL tumor lysate or PBL lysate. No lysate was added to negative controls (-). (A) Cell proliferation was assessed by measuring [3H]thymidine incorporation using a scintillation counter. Data are shown as mean ± SD of triplicate wells. (B) Supernatants from 3 wells were pooled after 7 days of incubation, and IFN-γ secretion was measured by ELISA. *Significant difference (P < .05).
