Function of iCasp9M when coexpressed with IL-12. The marker gene GFP in the iCasp9M.I.GFP constructs was replaced by flexi IL-12, encoding the p40 and p35 subunits of human IL-12. iCasp9M.I.GFP- and iCasp9M.I.IL-12–transduced EBV-CTLs were stimulated with LCLs, and then left untreated or exposed to 10 nM CID. Three days after a second antigenic stimulation, IL-12 in the culture supernatant was measured by IL-12 ELISA (detection limit of this assay is 7.8 pg/mL). The mean and standard deviation of triplicate wells are indicated. Results of 1 of 2 experiments with CTLs from 2 different donors are shown.
