Table 3. Half-life and relative efficiency of T cell activation for each T cell hybridoma pair at different epitope densities.

TCR-ligand interaction half-lives were previously measured with H-2Kb/VSV tetramers (19). NA, not applicable because V98D does not bind H-2Kb/VSV.

Relative T cell activation values were obtained from IL-2 release results in response to either R8 or L-Kb-high APCs pulsed with 10 μM VSV-peptide. A relative value of 1 has been given to the IL-2 release of WT N30.7 TCR bearing T cell hybridoma in response to R8 APCs pulsed with 10 μM VSV-peptide.
