Functional characterisation of 5GHPV3-specific T cells. C57BL/6 mice (6/group) were vaccinated with MVA-5GHPV3 prime and boost (MM), DNA-5GHPV3 prime and boost (DD), ChAdOx1-5GHPV3 prime and boost (CC), DNA-5GHPV3 prime MVA-5GHPV3 boost (DM) or ChAdOx1-5GHPV3 prime MVA-5GHPV3 boost (CM). Splenocytes harvested two weeks post-boost were stimulated with peptides spanning the entire immunogen sequence, pooled according to protein source and analysed by intracellular staining (ICS) for IFN-ɣ, CD107, TNF-α and IL-2. Data shown is (A) E6-specific CD8+ T cell responses and (B) E6-specific CD8 (CD4+) T cell responses. (C) ICS was performed on PBMC from C57BL/6 mice (6/group) vaccinated with the CM regimen at one week post-boost following stimulation with 5GHPV3 E6 and E7 peptide pools. Polyfunctionality of E6/E7-specific CD8+ T cells was determined using Pestle and Spice software. Horizontal lines show mean with standard deviation. One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.0001.
