Figure 2. Two-step ELISpot assay with in vivo expanded CD8 T cells.
A two-step ELISpot assay approach was adapted to include a peptide pool matrix-screening step with a subsequent deconvoluted individual peptides analysis step for the screening of a large peptide library for potential T cell epitopes. Limited clinical sample was extended through an in vivo CD8 T cell expansion from PBMC; 7 day expanded CD8 T cells for the 1st ELISpot assays and an extra 3 days of expansion for 2nd ELISpot CD8 T cells.
