Frequent, large CD4 T cell epitope responses to anthrax LF domain I-III peptide panel in immune human donors. Table indicates positive T cell IFNγ ELIspot responses that were seen in 3 or more donors from the human donor cohort described in the Methods, comprising a total of 9 donors in the cutaneous anthrax (Kayseri) group and 10 donors in the AVP vaccinees (UK) group.
