Figure 5.
Comparison of P495-specific and nonspecific killing of HLA A2.1+ allogeneic BLCLs by CTLs obtained with different antigen-presenting cells. Black bars indicate cytolysis of allogeneic mismatched A2.1+ BLCLpp65. Percentage of specific killing at an E/T ratio of 10:1 was calculated as the percentage killing of BLCLpp65 minus the percentage killing of BLCLflu. Open bars indicate cytolysis of BLCLflu at an E/T ratio of 10:1 for the same assay. Top to bottom: CTLs activated on autologous ER- PBMCs, autologous BLCLs, AAPCA2P495, and AAPCA2pp65. For the 3 donors, CTLs activated on AAPCs showed the lowest nonspecific killing.
