Figure 5. Antigen specific cytotoxicity of the CTL lines expanded before (PRE) or after (POST) exercise (n = 4).

Figure 5

CTL lines expanded before or after exercise were co-cultured with autologous PHA blasts for 4 h under four separate conditions: (1) PHA blasts alone (control); (2) PHA blasts pulsed with the irrelevant viral peptides Hexon and Penton (n = 2; data not shown); (3) PHA blasts pulsed with all viral-peptides (CMV pp65, CMV IE-1, EBV LMP-2, and EBV BMLF-1); and (4) PHA blasts pulsed with all viral peptides in the presence of an anti-MHC monoclonal antibody (MHC blockade). *Indicates statistically significant difference compared to non-pulsed control and the peptide-pulsed condition with MHC blockade (p < 0.05). The non-pulsed control condition was not significantly different from the irrelevant peptide pulsed condition (data not shown; p > 0.05). No statistical differences were found between the CTL lines expanded before or after exercise for any condition (p > 0.05).
