Target cells | Blocking MAb | IFN-γ secretion (pg/ml/2 × 106 cells per 24 h) |
---|---|---|
Autologous macrophages | IgG | 4,800 |
Anti-DR | 400 | |
T2-DR4 | IgG | 3,800 |
Anti-DR | 0 |
The HPV33 E773–87 peptide was pulsed onto autologous antigen-presenting cells or T2 cells expressing HLA-DR*0401. Antigen-presenting cells were incubated with IgG or anti-DR-directed MAbs (5 μg/well), and an IFN-γ release assay was performed. Different anti-DR-directed MAbs (clone L243 and clone B8.12.2) exhibited similar results. Data are from a blocking experiment with the L243 MAb.
