The CTL activity of the PBMC from HAM/TSP patients (pt#) cultured for 6 days. The cultured PBMC from two HAM/TSP patients were incubated with target cells at the various effector-to-target ratios indicated. The target cells were the Hmy2.CIR cell line transfected with HLA-A2 genes and pulsed either with 100 nM HIV-Gag77–85 peptide or HTLV-I Tax11–19 peptide. The description on the right indicates the culture condition of patient PBMC and the HIV or Tax target peptide, which are shown in parentheses. The specific lysis was calculated as (experimental release − spontaneous release)/(maximum release − spontaneous release) × 100. The assay was performed in triplicate.
