Representative examples of the proliferation and cytokine production of three LNMC cultures. The 22-day cultured LNMC were subjected to a 3-day proliferation assay to determine the response to HPV16 E6 and/or E7 22-mer peptides. Unloaded autologous monocytes served as negative control. The proliferative response is given as the stimulation index (SI) when stimulated with peptide- or protein-loaded autologous monocytes and is displayed on the left y-axis. The supernatant harvested after 48 h of stimulation was used for cytokine analysis by CBA, which is shown in the right y-axis
