Effect of antigen-specific activation of T cells on monocytes in mice. Three million Tax11-19-specific CTLs were stimulated with 4 × 106 mitomycin C-treated syngeneic spleen cells from HHD mice in the presence or absence of 0.1 μM Tax11-19 peptide as an antigen (Ag) in the outer chamber. In the inner chamber, after bone marrow cells were prepared from 4 mice of femurs in each strain, 1.5 × 106 /well of monocytes purified with Mini-MACS from bone marrow cells of (a) HHD mice and (b) ET1flox/flox;Tie2-Cre(+), ET1flox/+;Tie2-Cre(+), and ET1flox/flox;Tie2-Cre(−) mice were cultured for 24 h. The concentration of each blocking Ab used was 30 µg/ml. ND = not detected. The assays were performed in triplicate wells. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.001 as compared with positive (a) or negative (b) control by one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Similar results were obtained in two experiments (a,b).
