Table 1. Limiting dilution culture of 100% GFPpos TT-specific B cells.
donor | Number of positive clones from 96 wells | |||
Total # | from 1 c/w | from 5 c/w | from 10 c/w | |
A | 12/96 | 2 | 10 | N.D. |
B | 14/96 | 0 | 7 | 7 |
C | 10/96 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
D | 11/96 | 1 | 3 | 7 |
Indicated is the total number of clones isolated and at which cell density they were seeded. One 96 well plate was used for each condition (1, 5 or 10 cell per well). Wells contained 2500 CD40L-expressing L cells, IL-2 and IL-4. ¼ to ½ of the medium was replaced twice a week with fresh cytokines and 5000 L cells. N.D. is not determined.
