Table I.

Activated γδ T cells induce epitope-specific CTL expansion to EBV antigens BZLF-1 (RAK) and LMP2a (FLY). The table summarizes the percentages of pentamer-positive T cells in response to stimulation with peptide-pulsed or unpulsed γδ T cells and DCs, respectively, from multiple experiments using effector cells obtained from eight individual donors.
