In vivo expansion of M158-66 epitope-specific CTLs by seasonal influenza vaccine. PBMCs from healthy HLA-A2-seropositive individuals were isolated before and 1 month after seasonal 2008-2009 influenza vaccination. HLA-A2/M158-66 tetramer staining was performed and analyzed by flow cytometry. The numbers shown here indicate the frequency of HLA-A2/M158-66-tetramer+ cells within the population of CD3+ CD8+ T cells. Among 20 HLA-A2-positive individuals, only 4 individuals had an increase of HLA-A2/M158-66 tetramer-positive CTLs 1 month after vaccination. Results from those four donors are shown.
