Proliferative response of CD4+ PBLs to TetA830 peptide
SI values for all patients evaluated are shown in the table. Positive responses are those with a SI ≥4. The mean increases in reactivity were 3-, 108-, and 21-fold for the three groups. The results from patients with CTL responses to the gp100 peptide are shown in bold and were: patient 1120, who had a strong helper response; patient 1108, who had no helper response but was not vaccinated with the helper peptide; and patient 1105, who also was not vaccinated with the helper peptide. | ||||||
