Figure 4From: Retroviral transduction of peptide stimulated t cells can generate dual t cell receptor-expressing (bifunctional) t cells reactive with two defined antigensPeptide recognition by CMV tetramer+ T cells. TIL 5 TCR-transduced and untransduced CMV-stimulated bulk cultures were cocultured in the presence of 10 μg/ml brefeldin A for 5 hours in a 1:1 ratio with T2 cells pulsed with 5 μg/ml of peptide. Cells were then collected, stained with PE-conjugated HLA-A2 MHC CMV tetramer, fixed, permeabilized, and stained with FITC-conjugated anti-IFN-γ mAb. Samples were analysed using two-color flow cytometry. The percentage of dual positive staining cells (upper right quadrant) is as indicated.Back to article page
