DC were pretreated with 500 ng of the respective chemokine for 60 minutes and exposed to Yu-2 (6 ng/mL) for 60 minutes at 37°C. Chemokine-treated, virus-pulsed DC were washed four times with phosphate-buffered saline and treated with trypsin for 10 minutes. The cells were then washed twice and cocultivated with PHA-stimulated, uninfected autologous T cells. (A) chemokines were added only one time during phase I to pretreat DC; (B) the cultures were maintained in the continuous presence of the respective chemokine, phases I + II. Both sets of experiments were performed simultaneously on DC obtained from the same single donor. Therefore, one untreated control was used for both phase I and phase II chemokine treatment.
