IFN-γ production detected by ELISPOT after incubation of rhesus PMBCs with autologous fibroblasts

Animal number Treatment Spots per well Experiment –control
4727 PBMC alone 0
PBMC+control fibroblasts 4 ± 3 4
PBMC+autologous fibroblasts 3 ± 3 3
PBMC+ConA 104 ± 18 104
4731 PBMC alone 0
PBMC+control fibroblasts 2 ± 2 2
PBMC+autologous fibroblasts 5 ± 2 5
PBMC+ConA 148 ± 16 148

Abbreviations: Con A, concanavalin A; CTL, cytotoxic lymphocyte; IFNγ, interferon-γ; MOI, multiplicity of infection; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cells; PVDF, polyvinylidene difluoride.

The data shown are mean values ( ± s.d.) for the results of ELISPOT assays for IFNγ secretion after incubation of PBMCs isolated from two high-dose monkeys (4727, 4731) with target cells (uninfected or AAV5-transduced autologous fibroblasts). Fibroblasts were transduced or not with ~5000 MOI of AAV5 vector encoding a green fluorescence protein. The number of AAV5-specific CTLs was determined by counting the IFNγ-positive spots per PVDF membrane.
